One of the more unusual pairings in rock music has just been created for an upcoming tour. Party rocker Andrew W.K. has accepted an invitation from legendary Ramones drummer Marky Ramone to sing for the stickman's Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg outfit.

BioShock Infinite has been one of the most anticipated games in recent memory and has suffered the slings of release date delays and criticism from certain interest groups, but that hasn't stopped its incredibly powerful buzz train from bringing our expectations to new heights. Does it deliver on its promises and keeps us floating in the throes of ecstasy? Or does it belong in the murky depths, like a certain other city we know and love? (Not a negative thing, really. We like Rapture!)
