If you’re fed up of hearing about plastic controllers for games, you may want to look away now because another addition to the plastic collection has been detailed. The upcoming Guitar Hero 5 drum kit is the latest controller to be announced  and will join the line up of games that will be coming with plastic controllers this year, which include, DJ Hero, The Beatles: Rock Band and Tony Hawks: Ride. I personally am glad to see a new Guitar Hero drum kit because the first one released looked too light weight and not very durable, that’s the reason why I never bought one. However, this new kit has been improved to make it stronger and more easier to play….

A huge amount has been said about the upcoming The Beatles: Rock Band game, especially at E3 this year where there was a huge section of introduction and showing gameplay. However, how about the competition? Guitar Hero 5 is also be released in September, only one week before the release of The Beatles game (a tactic by Activision to try and get more sales of their game over Rock Band). It appears to me that not a huge amount has been said about the great new features that we will see in Guitar Hero 5. There are a couple of massive new features in Guitar Hero 5 that we have never seen before in any previous music games. The first…

Yesterday’s E3 look at The Beatles: Rock Band during the Microsoft conference sparked the release of an image of the new drum kit that is going to be released with the Rock Band game. The kit was announced to have a pearl finish and a Ludwig branded Beatles drum head which you can see in the picture below. Unfortunately it was note what I had expected, I was hoping that they would look slightly more like real drums because they said about the pearl finish. In this picture it’s also unclear as to whether the kit comes with a metal pedal or the power sensitive pads like in the Rock Band 2 kit. From the view that we get of…

If you are like me and absolutely love the Rock Band games and you simply can’t wait for the upcoming The Beatles: Rock Band game, then you’ll certainly enjoy this bit of news because yet another Rock Band guitar controller has been displayed. To go with the other 2 guitar controllers that have already been announced, this one is the Höfner bass controller that was used by Sir Paul McCartney, although, this controller has been designed for a right handed player although Sir Paul is a right handed musician. So if you’re planning on buying some of the new controllers when the game is released on September 9th, then you’re catalogue of possible controllers has just grown. It’s not quite…

I recently posted that The Beatles: Rock Band preorder club had been opened and that it would contain some pictures of the guitar controllers that they will be releasing with the game. I also said that I would get some images of these guitars when they appeared on the net. Well, I did forget to find them when they were released but better late than never so here are the images that were released onto the preorder club a few days ago. The guitar controllers released are the Rickenbacker 325 and  the Gretsch Duo Jet which were played by John Lennon and George Harrison throughtout their musical careers. I must say that both of these looks brilliant and I might…
