I might not approve of U2’s music or Bono’s smugness, but I can definitely get behind the band’s appraisal of music games. Essentially, they’re alright. Radical even.

SGC member PikminGuts92 and I had an INTERNET ARGUMENT last night. Well, nay, it was a minor disagreement on Twitter. As we’re both big players of Guitar Hero and Rock Band, it was totally about those games. And how Rock Band is doing it better.
Well, in my eyes anyway. In terms of DLC. You get [...]

It’s Wednesday, and The Beatles: Rock Band is fresh on the market. You have the guitars and a drum kit, so you only really need to pick up the game. The only problem is that you only have one mic to sing with… you need three if you really want the complete Beatles experience. You [...]

New management, folks. Here you go with not one but two videos for your morning entertainment!

That’s Bleep Bloop. Watching the backlog is a lot of fun, but there’s a good deal there.
Oh, and I apologize if this one was previously on here, I didn’t manage it before.
If you do want a bit more meat, though, check [...]

When you sit down on your comfy seat to play a game, there are really only 4 things that matter: The TV or other viewing source, the console, the game, and some sort of accessory or peripheral to control such game. Some people don’t consider the controllers that the console comes with as accessories, but they really [...]

The rumours have been flying thick and fast around the blogosphere for quite some time but now it’s official: LEGO Rock Band is coming soon in the most unconventional, unplanned and quite frankly unnecessary franchise mashup ever conceived.
Could the LEGO game franchise get any more ludicrous? See what I think over the jump, and let [...]

Every music game fan has a list of songs that would be perfect for Rock Band and Guitar Hero. I am no different. However, for me, two tunes stand above the rest: Megadeth’s “Peace Sells” and Styx’s “Renegade.”
Last year, Harmonix made me happier than a fat kid in a bakery when the company revealed that [...]

When gamers reminisce about DLC, it’s usually the worst of the worst that they think about. Horse Armor, Godfather money, useless costumes, the Katamari debacle, etc. Don’t get me wrong, there is plenty of bad DLC to talk about, and I could rant about the issues of releasing a game’s multiplayer mode for DLC all day long, [...]

Rock Band Unplugged is growing on me as more and more info’s leaked out, like a drip from a drainpipe, on what I’m calling 2009’s first must-have PSP game. EA’s delivered a smorgasbord of info this morning including a trailer, a bunch of screenshots and some deets about the game itself.
It’s all looking brilliant, if [...]

Ars Technica has apparently picked up an excerpt of PSP exclusive Rock Band Unplugged’s track list. While the song list is pretty good looking, there’s some familiar looking stuff showing up here that we’ve seen in music games both recent and from a few years ago.
Seperate games aside, I’m thinking: are we running out of [...]

We all love Rock Band DLC. I mean, how could you not love it, if not for the quality, but the sheer QUANTITY! Every week, the Rock Band song library grows, adding new genres, new artists, and sometimes new albums that coincide with the street date. If there were a model for music game DLC, [...]
