A demo for the upcoming Green Day: Rock Band was released today on both the Xbox Live Marketplace and the Playstation Network. With this demo, also came a little teaser from Harmonix regarding the recently announced, Rock Band 3. The image that you see above is displayed when you close the demo. As you can see, there are the normal guitar, bass and drums logos. However, rather than the single microphone, there are 3, this is to represent the ability to have 2 back singers. The other new logo is that of a keyboard which would suggest that we’ll be seeing a new instrument with the release of the game. The vocal harmonies doesn’t come as too much of a…

Rumours began a while back into a possible Green Day Rock Band game, however, these rumours we’re thought to be false when a Green Day download pack was released for Rock Band. Now it appears that in fact those rumours were true as yesterday Green Day Rock Band was officially announced. Just like The Beatles: Rock Band, this new game will come with customized characters representing the members of the band, which you can clearly see in the trailer below. The trailer below was originally posted on MTV.com but then removed. As you can see, one of their most popular songs, American Idiot, will feature in the game. More news regarding the game was released today, Harmonix announced that the…

Aerosmith, AC/DC, Metallica, and most recently, The Beatles are the other internationally known bands that have had a music based game made after them. However, that list could have had, and still might now, another addition to it. Adam Clayton, bass player for U2, restarted rumours after he told USA Today how they are still intestered in becoming part of a Rock Band/Guitar Hero game. It was only around a year ago that there were rumours flying around about how U2 was all ready for a game release, until they changed their mind. However, after seeing what a HUGE success The Beatles had with their Rock Band game, U2 have changed their mind, funny how things go isn’t it. While…

When I first heard that Harmonix were creating a new Beatles based Rock Band game, I was slightly unsure as I am not a huge fan of The Beatles. I like some of their classic songs but otherwise I’m not a big fan. Anyway, I decided to buy it simply because it’s a Rock Band game and it’s most likely got some great new features. However, it didn’t have as many as I would have liked. The biggest thing that stands out in this new game is the amount of time and effort that’s been put into making all the cut-scene movies and the characters. The biggest and most impressive movie of the game has to be the intro movie…

If you have read some of my previous posts within the past year, you may have noticed that I am a big fan of the music games, in particular Rock Band. I have always found Rock Band to be a personal favorite over the likes of Guitar Hero: World Tour. However, what they have in game quality, is not matched in peripherals. The only thing that I have found to not like about the Rock Band games is the guitars. I can’t quite put my finger on the problem but they are just not the same as the classic Guitar Hero 3 ones. As for the drums, I love the drums, they are a brilliant piece of gaming kit. That…
