, Jun 24th 2008 Discuss [0]

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

First look at Rock Band Wii

, Jun 18th 2008 Discuss [2]

Every now and then I open the door to find the FedEx guy holding some very nondescript brown boxes. These are my favorite days, as it generally means something new to review has arrived. The latest boxes weren’t quite so nondescript, as they had the words Rock Band, and Wii.

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.

Rock Band 2 to honor Bo Diddley by featuring his iconic guitar

, Jun 10th 2008 Discuss [0]

I'm not sure if any of you are blues fans out there, but last week one of the greatest legends of our time passed away recently. Bo Diddley was 79 when he left us, and it seems that Harmonix will be paying tribute to him in the second installment of Rock Band. Read The Full Story

The Firestix LED drumsticks

, Jun 9th 2008 Discuss [1]

If your plain boring wood Rock Band drumsticks just aren't cool enough for you, you might check out these shiny little LED drumsticks. Although glowing drumsticks aren't for everyone, I am definitely comfortable enough with my geeky tendencies that I'd be happy to play with a set of these. Read The Full Story

Rock Band goes to Japan

, Jun 4th 2008 Discuss [0]

It seems that Rock Band has done moderately well (see: awesome) here in the US, so it's only natural that they're going to want to release the game in other parts of the world. We've known for some time that they were going to have a European release (even if it did take a really long time to get there), but this is the first we've heard about it turning Japanese.
