  • If youve been thinking about Rock Band 2 for a while but the cost was just out of reach, now its the perfect time to reconsider the option. Either Harmonix is lowering the cost of the Rock Band 2 bundle (Game, Microphone, Drums and 1 Guitar) or Gam...

  • Abstract:  I bloody love music games. I loved the music-maker in Mario Paint on my SNES. I fell head-over-heels for Taiko no Tatsujin, the silly Japanese drum game I played in arcades all over Japan, and on the PS2. I was enchanted by the original Guitar Hero vol...

  • Abstract:  You loved the first one, now try the second one. You’ve played the first one and not it’s time to take your rock and roll stardom to the next level. Rock Band 2 does that and more. You might be asking yourself, what makes this one different an...

  • Abstract:  Contrary to the number besides its name, Rock Band 2 is not much of a sequel. At best the game is nothing more than Rock Band 1.5, only going as far as to fix some of the problems people had with the first iteration and adding a bunch of new songs. So ...

  • Abstract:  Visually speaking Rock Band 2 does not look that much different from Rock Band 1. But that is not particularly a bad thing as the game has a unique look to it that really does the job. Rock Band 2 does not push the graphics envelope of the Xbox 360, bu...

  • Abstract:  Last year the team from Harmonix decided to stop being Guitar Heroes and started up a Rock Band. For the first time, gamers not only were able to play guitar, drums, bass, and sing all in the same game, but do it together in a band atmosphere. There we...
