Believe us, dear reader — there’s nothing we’d like more than to have brought you with us to Las Vegas for this year’s DICE , but you must understand that the airfare was simply too much to bear.

In practice, this means a Modern Warfare 2 throat communicator , a Street Fighter IV fightpad , a seasonally appropriate Rock Band Network hoodie, a Rayman Raving Rabbids -themed Wiimote charger and …

Ever dreamed of owning your very own ridiculously high-priced fake drum set? No no, silly goose, not that ridiculously high-priced fake drum set ! The Logitech Wireless set, of course!

Swag Saturday: Guitar Hero 5 with Logitech Wireless Drums (PS3)

It’s time for Swag Saturday once again, and this week’s prize is a doozy. Up for grabs we have not one, not two, but three Guitar Hero games. We’ve got Xbox 360 copies of Guitar Hero: Metallica , Guitar Hero: Smash Hits and Guitar Hero 5 , all for the low, low price of nothing (and all released this year , if you can believe it). And, as if that weren’t enough, we’re throwing in an extra bass pedal (with splitter cable) too.

With the inundation of PAX-related news, impressions, and hands-ons this weekend, we were so flush with content yesterday that our usual Swag Saturday post fell by the wayside. To help make up for our latency, our friends at Liberation Entertainment have sent over a massive package full of Second Skin DVDs and tarps shirts for us to give away! Does that make up for missing yesterday? We’re not sure, but we throw ourselves at your mercy, friends. Let us know in the comments below how we can make it up to you for missing our usual Swag Saturday (keep it clean, folks!).

Today is the day that comes after Friday, which means one thing here at Joystiq: another fun filled (and librarian approved) Swag Saturday ! This week, we’re giving away ten copies of the recently released Gears of War Jacinto’s Remnant novel. While we can’t be sure how entertaining the copy reads, we are certain that the novel’s Marcus Fenix artwork oozes badass. He has an intimidating glare that can both kill his enemies and make women weak in their tree limb-sized knees. (Get a room, you two! -Ed .) Leave a comment telling us who your favorite character is within’ the Gears of War universe.
