My gootness… those are some mean moves. If only the election was decided this way.

Hat’s off to the creators of the video… amazing job. Hat tip to KSR.

BioShock 2 Trailer – 1st Look

It was only the best game I’ve ever played, er… recently played… OK, the best game that I’ve played recently that wasn’t Rock Band. Fair enough?!?

Starpex Lifelike Guitar for RB, GH

Better controllers for RB sounds like a step in the right direction. At least for addicts like me. Not sure I’m ready to buy just yet, first there’s no Xbox version yet, but also…. it’s getting good, not AWESOME ratings by critics.

Plus, it’s $180 but, “Hey! It’s only rock-and-roll but I like it, like it, yes I do!”

If you do want to buy one, go here.

Just like the Miis, Rock Band opens it up for players to create. Love this stuff.

Rush DLC Finally Coming? They Better Hope So!

Back on August 23rd Harmonix toyed with my heart. Now, I hear they’re at it again. Keep the electroshock paddles handy.

Here’s what they’re saying this time:

Looks like the technicals have been taken care of. Rush’s “Moving Pictures” comes out for real next week! In addition we have tracks from Bad Religion, The Cult, Hot Hot Heat, Kasabian, Sleater-Kinney, and Stone Roses! [link]

There will be a heavy price to pay if these people slight me again. Seriously, Cambridge, MA is only 15 hours 43 mins away…

I will also be buying some of this alternative goodness:

“She Sells Sanctuary” by The Cult
“Shoot the Runner” by Kasabian
“Love Spreads” by Stone Roses

Rock on!

My music-rhythm-puzzle-game obsession knows no bounds. Trust me… I’m hooked.

Rock Band DCL Bringing the Full-Album Heat

According this this EW post, it looks like RB will be adding more full-album DLC in addition to Moving Pictures, which has yet to arrive:

Stocking the digital bins, EW.com has learned exclusively, will be seminal full albums by Foo Fighters (The Colour and the Shape), Red Hot Chili Peppers (Blood Sugar Sex Magik), Jane’s Addiction (Nothing’s Shocking), Megadeth (Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying) and Stevie Ray Vaughn (Texas Flood), along with a specially-compiled No Doubt Best Of collection.

Not really jazzed about any of this but at least things are moving forward.

Better Instruments Make Me Feel Like a Rock Star

I predict that Mad Catz will be just the first company to produce premium instruments for Rock Band and Guitar Hero. I’ll be waiting for product reviews with one hand ready to click the “Submit Order” button.

There’s good then there is this guy. If what he’s saying is true (and I have no reason to not believe him) he’s an AMAZING fake guitarist. Major props.
