Unlike in film and music, video game sequels generally improve on the original and Rock Band 2 is no exception. While there's no single, defining kick-ass new feature in RB2, it's vastly superior to its predecessor. First off, the 84 master tracks that come with the game are a major coup for Harmonix and MTV Games. If the Guitar Hero franchise is...

Rock Band 3

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) November 12, 2010 4:10 pm
Rock Band 3's big selling point is it comes with a new keyboard controller, which means you can get all soulful and make people teary-eyed (either because you're great or terrible, pick and choose) when playing and singing to John Lennon's "Imagine," say. Consequently, the game's track list is more geared towards keyboard-centred tunes than its...

Smiths, Morrissey Coming To Rock Band 3

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) September 10, 2010 11:33 am
Why pamper life's complexity when the leader runs smooth on your living room couch's seat? If you haven't got a stitch to wear, who cares? Why go out? The Smiths and Morrissey are coming to Rock Band 3, so you can just stay home and be cynical about about how you never had no one ever while slamming the hell out of a fake set of...

This isn't quite a full Jimi Hendrix Rock Band game just yet, but you'll at least soon be able to play along to songs by rock's coolest cat on Rock Band (better than you can on guitar) at any rate. Experience Hendrix, the company that owns the rights to Hendrix's music and image, has signed a deal with Harmonix and MTV Games that will see entire...

Did you grow up wanting to be Jimi Hendrix, spending hours in vain trying to learn his songs on your guitar? Perhaps this will be easier for you.

I don't think I need to explain why this is unbelievably ridiculous and amazing. Just watch this lady do an Avenged Sevenfold tune on Rock Band by playing her flute into the microphone. You should probably note she's playing on "Expert" mode. Avenged Sevenfold suck, but least we know she's got some good ear training... Check it out...
