The game features ten full Coldplay songs to play along to, with graphics and effects inspired by the band's videos. It also includes a Coldplay.com news feed and Facebook Connect, so that you can flaunt your scores to the world. The game is available from iTunes stores throughout the world. Click here if you'd like to buy it. WE'VE GOT A NEW MOBILE SITE TOO If you'd like to keep up with Coldplay happenings while you're on the move, then check out our new mobile site. It's set up so that if you head to Coldplay.com via the broswer on your mobile/cell, iPhone or Blackberry, you should automatically be diverted to the mobile site (if not, then just go to coldplay.com/mobile/).

GUY TALKS TO COLDPLAY.COM Last week, Coldplay.com posted an exclusive interview with Guy in which he talked about the band's recent tour, plans for the stadium shows and his thoughts about the less-than-gorgeous Guy puppet from the LITii video. Click here to read it. While you're on the site, check out Roadie #42's end-of-tour blog and a full list of the band's upcoming shows. WIN A COLDPLAY iPOD In 2008, the kind folks at Apple gave Coldplay a set of very exclusive iPods, with the Coldplay logo engraved on the back. To celebrate the release of the band's Tap Tap Revenge game, we're giving away the one remaining Coldplay iPod Touch to one of you folks. If you'd like to win this unique piece of Coldplay memorabilia, simply email your name and address to [email protected] before Wednesday 22nd April. One entry per person, please.

Also on May 15th, LeftRightLeftRightLeft will be made available as a free download from Coldplay.com, for fans everywhere.

We've interviewed Strawberry Swing video directors Shynola, and chatted with support acts Elbow, Amadou & Mariam, Kitty, Daisy & Lewis and White Lies.

And, of course, the Oracle is still very much in session, answering your questions. LAST FEW TICKETS The European stadium tour is now almost sold out, but there are still some tickets for the shows in Manchester on Sept 12th (with Jay-Z and White Lies) and Dublin on Sept 14th (with Elbow and White Lies).
