The Game Developers Conference isn’t just a chance for game developers to hold panel discussions to talk about game development lessons, it’s also a huge recruiting effort by the industry to pick up new talent. You might not think of the slot machines squirreled away in Las Vegas casinos to be traditional "video games," but slot machine creator WMS, who had the above GDC booth, certainly does.

Seven45 Studios announced their upcoming, “real guitar powered” music game PowerGig: Rise of the SixString earlier this week during GDC (You can find full details right here). But basically, it’s Rock Band/Guitar Hero with an actual guitar instead of a plastic mock one.
Additional, more official details will undoubtedly be coming over the coming weeks, but in the meantime, we’ll have to settle for some dude rocking out to the game at the game’s awesome, parent’s basement-esque booth at GDC:

Square Enix have given us our first (albeit all CGI without a hint of gameplay) look at the long awaited third installment in Eidos’ revered RPG shooter, Deus Ex 3.
