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.

Two different rumored Rock Band 2 setlists appear

, Jul 7th 2008 Discuss [1]

Every year around this time, we are bombarded with rumors. Does the summer heat give everyone an excuse to stay inside and pass rumors? Maybe, but it also nearly E3 time, which is when the rumor mill is in full swing. The latest we have is not one, but two different “leaked” Rock Band setlists. These come from “trusted sources”, which must mean that they are both completely accurate, despite being different. Read on for both versions. Read The Full Story

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

, Jul 1st 2008 Discuss [2]

If you guys are anything like me, you're pretty damn excited about Rock Band 2. Details on the game are still fairly scarce (and will likely remain so until E3), however, we do have an idea of when we'll see the game on store shelves. Let's just say that Xbox 360 owners will be a little happier than everyone else. Read The Full Story
