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.

Forza 3, despite not being quite as stellar in terms of physics and driving model, feels like a more polished, cohesive game than GT5. And it was made in 2 years instead of 5.
As for Shift, it's way behind on everything except the visceral feeling of being behind the wheel of the car. It feels much faster, more exciting, and more intense than the other two games, but it just doesnt have quite as good a driving model. That's sort of to be expected though, since it's the first game in the series. Shift 2 is looking better in that regard.
