Rock Band Weekly DLC – NIN and Shinedown

, Jul 21st 2008 Discuss [0]

Well, E3 is over, which means this week will no doubt be a little slower on the major gaming announcements. However, you can always count on the guys at Harmonix to bring us a little something new every week. This week they've given us some Nine Inch Nails and Shinedown to look forward to.

Metallica to release Death Magnetic album as DLC for GH III, IV

, Jul 16th 2008 Discuss [1]

I have to admit that my love for Metallica has been waning over the past several years. Not only has their music not been as great, but ever since they started promoting the suing of fans for downloading music, I've just not been as excited by their music. One place that I still enjoy hearing it is in both Guitar Hero and Rock Band.  Well it looks like I might actually purchase their latest album, this time for Guitar Hero, marking the first time I've cared to obtain an entire Metallica album in a decade or so.

Rock Band Weekly DLC – The Who

, Jul 14th 2008 Discuss [0]

The week of E3 is always big (even if the show is getting smaller and smaller with each passing year), so this week's DLC should be equally as large. We've been expecting a full album from The Who, however, due to some missing masters, we'll just have to settle for an awesome compilation of Who tracks. Read The Full Story

Rock Band Weekly DLC – Double shot of Chili Peppers and Rush

, Jul 7th 2008 Discuss [0]

This week's DLC update brings us a curious mix of Rush and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Rather than the usual trio of songs that we're used to seeing, we get two songs from each band. But that's not the only strange thing about this week's content. Hit the jump to see what I mean. Read The Full Story

Top Gun Anthem to be released for Guitar Hero III

, Jul 2nd 2008 Discuss [0]

How many of you have seen the movie Top Gun? Now, of those people, how many of you had aspirations of one day flying your own F-14 Tomcat? If you answered yes to the first question but no to the second, you're lying. Everyone wanted to fly a jet after that movie. That, and buy a motorcycle. Well since most of us didn't actually live out that dream, we'll just have to settle for downloading the movie's theme song on Guitar Hero III. Read The Full Story

Rock Band Weekly DLC – Crüefest

, Jul 1st 2008 Discuss [0]

A little while back it was announced that Rock Band was going to be rocking Crüefest, which kicks off today. So it only makes sense for Harmonix to release a few Crüefest-themed tracks, right? Hit the jump to see what will be available for download today. Read The Full Story

Free WoW Track available for Guitar Hero III today

, Jun 26th 2008 Discuss [0]

It seems that the merger between Activision and Blizzard is already beginning to bear fruit. So how does one combine two of the largest titles from each company into something cool for the masses? You release a World of Warcraft song for Guitar Hero. Read The Full Story

Rock Band Weekly DLC – Weezer and Pixies

, Jun 24th 2008 Discuss [0]

Today is Tuesday, which usually means a three-pack of songs to download for Rock Band. However, they've decided to change things up this week by not only giving you a trio of tracks, but they're also putting up an entire album from the Pixies. Hit the jump for the details. Read The Full Story

More Offspring coming soon to Rock Band

, Jun 19th 2008 Discuss [0]

I was born in the 80's, which means I did most of my growing up in the 90's listening to alternative music. I've really been happy that Rock Band has been bringing back some of the songs I know and love so that a new generation can really enjoy them. I listened to a good bit of Offspring back in the day, which is why I'm happy to hear that they're going to be adding more tracks to the game in the future. Read The Full Story

Rock Band Weekly DLC – Avenged Sevenfold, Offspring and Crooked X

, Jun 17th 2008 Discuss [0]

I'm starting to like this trend of seeing new music released on Rock Band at the same time it is released to the general public for purchase. The latest track to follow this trend comes to us from The Offspring. Check out the list of tracks available today after the jump.

  • Avenged Sevenfold “Afterlife”
  • Avenged Sevenfold“Critical Acclaim”
  • The Offspring “Hammerhead”
  • Crooked X “Rock ‘n’ Roll Dream”
There is no track pack this week, so you'll have to pick and choose which tracks you want. The first three listed are going to set you back the usual $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360), while the Crooked X track will only run $.99 (80 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360).

Rumor – New Rock Band DLC leaked

, Jun 12th 2008 Discuss [0]

I hate watching commercials. I don't watch much TV, and would like to get the most out of the times I do sit in front of the boob tube. This would be why most of what I watch is already pre-recorded, thanks to a DVR. However, commercials do serve a purpose. Not only do they inform potential customers of products and services for sale, they also leak the occasional bit of unannounced news. Read The Full Story

Some Clues to the absent Who’s Next DLC

, Jun 11th 2008 Discuss [1]

So we've all been waiting around to hear the announcement of when the album “Who's Next” will be showing up on Rock Band. I know that I was pretty surprised when the first full album ended up being from the Cars. Well, while Harmonix has made no official announcements on the matter, we may have found a cause for the delay, straight from the mouth of Pete Townshend himself. Hit the jump for a quote.
