GD:RB demo hints at keyboards in Rock Band 3

E-mail Print PDF

While the demo for Green Day: Rock Band dropped today on Xbox Live (featuring 2 playable songs, "Welcome to Paradise" and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams"), the bigger news may lie in the splash screen that pops up at the end of the demo.

Next to the familiar guitar, bass, and drum icons are a 3-mic icon (indicating vocal harmonies) and a new, fifth icon showing a keyboard.

Does this mean we'll get a fancy new keyboard peripheral?  Will you play it on an existing RB guitar, using the frets for keys?  We don't know the details yet, but expect them to be revealed at E3 next month.

Guitar Hero 6 returns to its rocking roots

E-mail Print PDF

Details about the forthcoming Guitar Hero 6 are emerging in magazine previews - gone are the celebrity appearances and in their place is a new "Quest mode" which will have you playing as the classic Guitar Hero characters while you battle enemies and unlock special powers.

We'll see how that works out.


In the meantime, however, 19 of the tracks appearing in the game have been revealed, and they definitely represent a return to the series' rock roots (as opposed to GH5's all-over-the-place soundtrack).  You can expect tracks from Black Sabbath, Slayer, Megadeth, Rammstein, Dethklok, and Dragonforce, to name a few.


Check out our Guitar Hero 6 page for the full list so far.

5/18: The Dead return!

E-mail Print PDF
The Grateful DeadLong-time Rock Band fans will remember the two Grateful Dead packs we got over a hundred weeks ago, back when three-song packs were the norm and six-packs were practically unheard of. Two years later, we're finally getting a third Grateful Dead pack featuring "Touch of Grey" and "Scarlet Begonias", along with four others. On the more recent side of things, we're also getting two singles from Jersey rockers The Smithereens, including "A Girl Like You". More details, including track list and pricing, after the jump.
