Tired of playing against whiny American teenagers on Xbox Live? How about some aging indie-rockers instead? Fans of the rather marvellous Super Furry Animals (veterans of Actua Soccer 2) will be able to play Conker Live and Reloaded with the band on July 1st. Earlier that week Funeral For a Friend will be doing the same with Forza Motorsport. Other bands who have "connected with their fans" in this way have been Kasabian, The Strokes and er, Maroon 5. All good fun I guess, although I'm still a bit skeptical. After all, if you grabbed a random Welsh bloke off the street, sat him down in front of an Xbox and told him to say that he was the bass player for Super Furry Animals, would anyone know it wasn't him? Anyway, more importantly, what band should Microsoft invite next? Maybe Oasis could play Fight Club, or as "Man Blue" on Pro Evolution Soccer 4. Any other suggestions?
