Rock Band

[Crybaby Bunting]

Lego: Rock Band is amazing

The only problem is that for every awesome song you play you get one average and one horrible one :/

[Kaney]

I've been tempted to pick it up but everytime I give it serious thought I feel slightly ashamed and move on.

[Crybaby Bunting]

It's a party game. If you're willing to get absolutely pissed and attempt to play Rock Band... this is the game to play.

It's a healthy dose of shit songs, classic cheese and stuff too simple to release as plausable DLC (Even though The Passenger is badass)

Actually, that was my first impression... after going through the career mode it isn't THAT bad... just got that LEGO game charm that makes it tame but reasonably funny.

This game is Will Smith ¬_¬

I definitely want to pick this up, just a matter of me not having money/it not being in stock when I do have money. Probably have to order this online.

No American's go that clothes store thing this weekend to get it for $20 then?

First time I've been really excited by DLC in a while, the Slipknot pack is a definite must-buy for next week for me. The Simon and Garfunkel songs should be fun too.

[King Ellis]

So, am I to understand this Dreaming of Love is free? I will have to look into it.

[Crybaby Bunting]

It's been ages since a free download

All three of the free downloads so far are amazing so hopefully this should be a solid 3 minute song.

[King Ellis]

So, as some of you may know, I recently ordered myself some instruments. Sadly, only 1st gen but whatever. Any precautions I should undertake before usage? Speaking of the drums specifically.

Also, is the microphone similar to a standard one, would it fit into a normal microphone stand or would I have to buy a 3rd party one that probably costs more than the game itself?

Don't beat the shit out of your drums is usual precaution for those. Though some times the rock band 1 drums can be quite wonky and just stop working for no reason. The pedal as well is easier to break, though I've never had problems with my rock band 1 set miraculously.

I bought a regular mic stand and the rock band mic will fit fine into the holder.

[King Ellis]

Time to steal ragbag's gimmick:

Along with the Green Day songs (Christian's Inferno, Last of the American Girls and ¡Viva La Gloria! The last two are usable on Lego Rock Band) we have Kings & Queens and This Is War by 30 Seconds to Mars and Gives You Hell by All-American Rejects. All for the usual 160 MS Points/PSN$2/200 Wii points a piece.

I kind of like Kings & Queens sound, got a sort of epic feel to it like A&A but nothing about this song hooks me in. Haven't listened to This Is War. Gives You Hell is OK by itself but i'm not sure how good it will be for Rock Band. There doesn't seem to be a lot going on in terms of instruments.

Oh, and Rubber Soul for Beatles Rock Band as well. 1440/$13.50.

Green Day: Rock Band announced.

Rumoured to be hitting next spring or something, with Rock Band 3 being a big release in time for next November or something

[Bigal]

The Green Day game is going to be fully exportable, which greatly increases my chances of buying it. If, as I suspect, Beatles Rock Band is exportable into Rock Band 3, then I shall be uberchuffed.

[Captain Eo]

Highly doubt we'll see Beatles Rock Band ever be exportable. The relicensing fees would be enormous, an also they've stated that it's a totally different experience and only meant to be played as a stand alone title due to the uniqueness of the band.

[GoGo Yubari]

I like that the Weezer packs are getting progressively worse. Next time, "I'm Your Daddy" and "We Are All On Drugs!" What the fuck, release "Only In Dreams." Even if just for the guitarists.

[Guest JukeboxHero]

Wow, 'Build a Bridge', 'Beverly Hills', and '(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To' next week? Awesome.
