Back when Rock Band made its debut for the PS3, there was a huge stir about the controllers from the Guitar Hero franchise not playing nice with the game. While Harmonix tried to smooth things over by releasing a patch which would allow GH controllers to work, it never saw the light of day because of a dispute with Activision. With no resolution in sight, Ant Commandos has released their own guitar that will play on all versions of Guitar Hero and Rock Band for both the PS2 and the PS3.
It’s only Wednesday, so we normally wouldn’t expect to hear about next week’s DLC for Rock Band for a few more days. However, it seems that Harmonix is so excited about it that they just can’t wait. I can understand, as this marks the second full album download that will be available for the game. If you’re a fan of The Cars, then you’ll want to download their self-titled debut album next week. Hit the jump for the track listing.
I’m sure that some of you saw the European Rock Band tracks announced a while back and wished that you’d be able to play them here in the US. Well Harmonix hasn’t let us down, as they’ve announced the release of all previously exclusive tracks for US players. Hit the jump for the full list.
Today is Tuesday, which means that you somehow made it through Monday. Once you’ve done that, you know you can make it through the rest of the week, because we all know that Monday is the worst day. Since you survived yesterday, you’ll be rewarded with three new tracks for Rock Band. Hit the jump for this week’s DLC list.
They say that the best things in life are free, and that’s usually true. Even if you don’t agree with that statement, you have to admit that getting free stuff is awesome. If you’re looking for some free Rock Band tracks, and happen to be a big fan of South Park, you’re in for a treat.
I always talk about the abundance of DLC for Rock Band as one of the game’s best features. Unfortunately, with so much music to choose from, it’s also something of a downside. Okay, so they’re not exactly twisting your arm to buy it, but you can easily spend a lot of money picking up extra tracks. However, thanks to a partnership with McDonald’s, you’ll be able to pick up some tracks on the cheap.
One of the things that makes Rock Band so great is the steady stream of fresh DLC. That’s true of the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, however, those rocking out on the PS2 and Wii are left out in the cold, due to their inability to download new tracks. Thankfully Harmonix has a solution.
Mondays suck, there’s no denying it. The only time that they’re really that great is when there’s a three-day weekend. At least Monday means you’ve only got one day to wait until you get new tracks for Rock Band. Hit the jump to see what they’ve got in store for you tomorrow.
I have some very sad news for Aerosmith fans. If you enjoy rocking out to some classic Aerosmith in Rock Band, you’d better get used to Train Kept a Rollin’, because that’s all you’re going to get.
It’s been a week of ultraportables, frankly, with enough budget laptops vying for the Eee’s crown to make the whole market more than a little confusing. Medion announced their Akoya E1210 while 3K unveiled their own alternative; meanwhile, MSI finally released some decent photos of the Wind. Thankfully there’s now a comprehensive list of all the options available, meaning attention has turned from cataloguing to pondering whether Palm will join the fray with a re-worked version of the Foleo companion. Stranger things (like the first Foleo, you could say) have happened.
