In the Featured Music break this week it's "Hangman" from Room 16. They are a straightforward rock band from Scotland who like playing music with guitars in it. Room 16 has been making music for better or worse for about 3 years now and has had the pleasure of gigging across the country. Their line up consists of singer Ewan McCall, guitarists Andrew Gordon and Adam Gatherer, bass player Kyle McLellan and drummer Ronan McLellan. Hangman was written by Andrew Gordon with additional lyrics from Ewan McCall.
If you're fortunate enough to be around Glasgow on Saturday, March 12 you can check them out at Barrowlands 2. They've also graciously offered to send a free track to Weekend Confirmed listeners just for the asking. Connect with Room 16 via Twitter, Facebook, the official Room 16 site, and their bandcamp page.

Comments
-----It's simple, why fix something that isn't broke? Think about it, if Sony revises the controller, they lose. PS fans will cry foul. If they don't change it, people like Garnett will keep on clamoring for change. Personally, I love the PS controllers but for those that don't, there is choice. A third party adapter allows you to use 360 controllers. I only know about it's existence and no more. I suggest looking into it if the DS3 bothers you that much.
Regarding the angry bird GOTY discussion:
-----When tetris was brought up as the pinnacle of gaming I am inclined to ask some questions. When was the last time you (any of you) played tetris? I haven't played it for years now. When was the last time a reiteration or sequel of tetris was released? If there is a new version, did it win Game of that Year? Imagine if Tetris was new to all of us and it released this year. Would it win GOTY? I seriously doubt it. While Tetris is one of the all time greatest (no doubt), it wouldn't stand a chance of winning that award in the modern era. Prove me wrong developers. Re-release Tetris and update it. I wonder how successful it will be critically and in sales. Don't get me wrong, I love(d) tetris. But, my taste in games have moved on.

Would it win GOTY if it were new. Probably not but it sure as hell should be nominated.
