EVE Online is one of many MMORPG's available on the market today, but it is the only one to be boast a democratically elected group who act as the in-game government. The group of nine were elected by fellow EVE Online gamers back in March and will be on the Council of Stellar Management for a guaranteed period of six months.

All Guitar Hero games have extremely difficult songs available at the end of the game. For those of you who can remember back to the days of the World Series of Video Games and the Guitar Hero 2 competitions, you may remember seeing Jordan being performed by only the best.
