Unplugging The Amplitude
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 8th of April 2009 - 05:15 PM ]
Rock Band Unplugged Does anyone else remember a little game Harmonix made oh so long ago called Amplitude? Where you flew a space craft around on different tracks and shot down "notes" to keep the beat, vocals, etc. going on a song playing in the background. You could upgrade and change your avatars and ships based on your scores. Also had some kick ass music that has yet to be fully seen on any of Harmonix's current projects. Ring a bell? Read More...

Fitness & Video-Games
by Amanda [ Thursday, 15th of January 2009 - 07:14 AM ]
Let’s face it, it seems like America’s in a panic to lose weight as it infamously maintains it’s title as THEE most detrimental nation in existence; Late night infomercials, hip-hob abs, Power 90, Flirty Girl Fitness, counting calories on Big Mac boxes?! Us gamers are hardly left out in this day and age, especially with video-games becoming more and more interactive; Just ask our beloved Konami, the makers of le cult classic Dance Dance Revolution.  Wait, “D00D YOU DANCE?!” That’s probably top-secret information the majority of guys most likely don’t want to share at a frat party; your friends may assume fetal position, spewing ‘Gamer Fuel’ ( does anyone actually drink that stuff?

Rock On Your SanDisk
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 7th of January 2009 - 04:59 PM ]
SanDisk SD Rock Band Wii Card So when they announced that they were hooking up the Wii with Rock Band and Rock Band 2, I questioned how those users would be able to enjoy some of the great DLC for the game. Seeing as there was very limited space built into the Wii system, there is not that make room for the game to grow. Well it would seem that this was an issue that SanDisk decided to fix. Looks like they are placing out a proprietary card specifically for you to download more songs for the game onto. Read More...

Reality TV, Yet Another Low?
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 9th of September 2008 - 08:37 PM ]
MTV's official Rock Band 2 show!!! (Los Angeles) So, this is still rumor and has been posted only in a few places online as of late, but looking at the ad, it is most likely not a real one. But I thought I would post this due to the comic value of the concept and idea behind it. Why do I think it is a false one, because they ask you to email a GMail account instead of an official MTV account. Just me huh. Any ways, if you don't want to click in and haven't read the title bar, what I am talking about is that "MTV" wants to do a Rock Band 2 reality TV show. Read More...

RB2 Gets A Ratin'
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 26th of August 2008 - 07:48 PM ]
Rock Band 2: Rated No not and ERSB rating, already knew that would be T, but they rated the difficulty for the songs that are coming out on the disc at launch date. They also were nice enough to break it down by the different categories as well as overall band. No listing of how difficult, like on the current Rock Band Store, but early images show that is how the songs will be sorted out and displayed from the get go in the game. But at least here, you can prep yourself for what is to come. I do like seeing Tenacious D down in the ranks of Megadeth and Judas Priest in the level of difficulty. Read More...

Rock Band II: Exclusive E3 2008 Gameplay Reveal To be honest, this clip isn't anything to write home to mom about. It looks almost totally the same, gameplay and graphics wise. But then again, it is more or less just a etase for the game anyways. There are a couple of new looking visual effects that happen in the background, but when you are playing, you are not looking at those anyways. But here's the video "for those of you who are into those kinds of things". To quote a great TV show. Read More...
