Gary Busey Does Saint's Row II Trailers

Game Publisher THQ is prepping its response to GTA4 (out this month, 4/29), Saint's Row II, for upcoming release this summer (August 26th).  Via Gaming Today, I found out Gary Busey was brought on to give some excellent comments over some of their trailers.

Ah, yes, finally here’s a proper trailer for Saints Row 2. This one shows off some of the gameplay and…um, is that Gary Busey? It appears THQ enlisted the infamous escaped mental patient actor for a few sort videos about a few different gameplay elements for the upcoming game, such as taunting, throwing people, and using satchel charges. And once again, these videos prove that everything is ten times more entertaining with even a mildly recognizable celebrity. Fun fact: Mr. Busey had absolutely no idea he was being filmed when these ads were shot. He thought he was auditioning for a role in a new stage version of The Sound of Music.

Watch one of three clips with Uncle Gary below, the other two on Gaming Today's website:

I'm Gonna Need Some Time...On My Own...With These / Guitar Hero 3 "Battle Clip"

My friends will tell you I am a sneaker freak.  Yes, I have a bunch of Nike SB's (some Vans slips ons too...).  This November, my collection will increase by one with the addition of a sick G'n'R inspired Nike Dunk Mid Pro SB:  The November Rain SB. (via Hypebeast)

If we could take the time to lay it on the line, I could rest my head;
Just knowin' that you were mine, All mine.

"November Rain" contains one of G'n'R guitarist Slash's most memorable guitar solos.  In the upcoming Guitar Hero III:  Legends of Rock (Activision), Slash is a level "Boss" where you will have to battle him to progress in the game.  Peep this clip of one such battle:
