Posted by xerocube in : Party, Promos & Events, Rhythm, XBOX 360 , add a comment

Fresh from Major Nelson’s feed, I have learned there is a free track from Rock Band today. I have provided a link below.

I haven’t listened to the song, so I cannot personally attest to the quality of the track. However, it is free, so no harm for trying it out, right?

French gaming site, Succès Full, has revealed Left 4 Dead’s Acheivements for the 360. My favorites include:

I have been looking forward to this game for a long time. Zombies… co-op game play… “custom” games for each play through… looks like a winner. I can only hope this game captures the player as well as Half Life 2. If so, we are in for a treat.

Rock Band DLC – Week of 10/21/08 – Nirvana Edition October 17, 2008

Posted by Archbishop Xero in : News, Playstation 3, Rhythm, XBOX 360 , add a comment

Here’s the Rock Band DLC for this week. It’s a been a while coming, but next week we’ll see 7 Nirvana tracks! More importantly, it’s from their Nevermind offering. Sadly, “Come As You Are” and “Smells Like Teen Spirit” aren’t being made available. We’ll have to manage with these 7 master tracks.

The full Nirvana 7 Pack will be priced $10.99 (880 Microsoft Points) or $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points) per track.

I, for one, am looking forward to “Polly” and “On A Plain”. These promise to be good times.

Availability:

Rock on!

“Red Tandy” by The Mother Hips [Rock Band] August 26, 2008

Posted by Archbishop Xero in : Playstation 3, Rhythm, XBOX 360 , add a comment

I haven’t been keeping up with the Rock Band DLC much lately. Life has been kinda hectic with the new baby and all. However, I was just turned on to a song that has been out for Rock band for a while now: “Red Tandy” by The Mother Hips.

I’d never heard of the band before, much less this song, until a few minutes ago. Check it out:

I believe it is well worth the 160 MS Points for this song. It has great parts for every instrument and vocals.

Harmonix explains how Rock Band 2 connects with Rock Band 1 August 21, 2008

I love Rock Band and have been thrilled about the impending release of Rock Band 2. Of course, my (and many others, I’m certain) main concern dealt with all the DLC songs I’ve purchased for Rock Band. Will they transfer over to Rock Band 2, or will i have to continue playing Rock Band 1 to get my Grateful Dead fix?

Thankfully, Harmonix assuaged my fears and confirmed that all RB1 DLC will work in RB2 with no problems. They didn’t stop there… they went one step further and confirmed that, at least XBOX 360, owners of RB1 can transfer their “on-disc” tracks to RB2. How is that you say??? Read on!

MTV Multiplayer » Harmonix: How ‘Rock Band 2? Lets You Access First Game’s Songs

Well, it’s going to cost any gamer who wants to transport their “RB” 1 songs to “RB2? a little money and it will require two discs — just once. Harmonix PR man John Drake broke it down for me on Tuesday:

Drake said that on the day “Rock Band 2? is released — September 14 for the Xbox 360 version — a patch will be issued for the original game. That title update will add an Export feature to the original “Rock Band” game’s menu. Gamers who select that feature will be prompted to input a password, which will be included with copies of “Rock Band 2.” Then you have to pay.

Fallout 3 Release Date August 21, 2008

Great news from Bethesda! They’ve announced the release date for Fallout 3. I have always been a huge fan of the Fallout IP and have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new installment. From the press release:

Bethesda Softworks

Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax Media company, announced today that its highly anticipated title, Fallout® 3, will be available on store shelves and online in North America on October 28, 2008 and in Europe on October 31, 2008.

More information comes from Amazon.com in terms of pricing and editions. There will be three editions to the game: Standard, Collector’s, and, the Amazon.com exclusive, Survival editions for the XBOX 360, PS3, and the PC. I can’t tell you which to get, though I know the 360 and PC versions has been confirmed to get DLC expansions later on. I can only guess that it will be available for the PS3 some months later.
