It’s Saturday. There’s loads of tiny stuff to fill the empty spaces inside your brain below.

Johnathan Kessler, the manager for Depeche Mode, has told VG247 that the band’s inclusion in Valve’s Left 4 Dead 2 was a way to get their music out to a younger generation.

“There is no storyline in the game with the band, as they do not appear in the game,” Kessler told VG247 exclusively.” Their music was included as a way to get their songs out there, so that the kids can be exposed to it in a way that differs from conventional radio.”

As far as this being a stepping stone for the band to possibly be included in Rock Band or Guitar Hero in the future, Kessler says that there are “no plans for that at this time”.

So, being able to rock out on our plastic guitars to “I Feel You” is not in our future for the present, kiddos.

However, we can console ourselves by shooting zombies in L4D2 to Fletcher, Gahan and Gore’s music instead.

On May 28, SingStar will get an decent sized update and a Queen track pack. Hooray for that.

Loads of stuff in there from the obvious pop stuff to more eclectic offerings like Korn’s “Freak on a Leash”. Nice to see the Depeche Mode boys in there though.
