Rock Band Weekly – Justin McElroy Called It (Sort Of)

If you read last week’s edition of Rock Band Weekly you’ll know that I backed Joystiq’s Mr. McElroy in the request for a Paul Simon track pack and we’ve got one…sort of. This week sees the addition of Simon & Garfunkel and Slipknot to the Rock Band platform. What...

Rock Band Weekly – Finish This Lyric – “Smells like…”

After a prolonged hiatus, Rock Band Weekly is back! What a week to bring it back too. Remember way back when, when we thought that the first downloadable album for Rock Band would be Nevermind? Yeah, so do I.  Finally, after however many years it’s been we have…the majority...

Harmonix have announced that they have met their goal of having 1,000 tracks on the Rock Band platform before the holiday season. According to the press release these songs are the work of 390 artists and 60 million songs have been downloaded by users to date. Harmonix informs us...

Rock Band Weekly: Wolfmother & Rob Zombie

It’s been very hectic here at TPSN towers over the past few weeks, hence the absence of your regular dose of Rock Band Weekly. Well, it’s back now and this week Harmonix are bringing, amongst others, Wolfmother and Rob Zombie to the Rock Band Music Store once again.

Competition Results: All You Need Is Love

Sorry it’s late folks, but it took us a while to get through all of the entries. For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, late last month the guys at GamesBasement gave us a full, premium, Beatles: Rock Band kit to give away to one lucky...

Rock Band Weekly – Breaking Benjamin, Alice In Chains & More

Another belated RBW brought to you by a slightly flu-filled Anthony Barlow. Harmonix have announced the next batch of downloadable content, to be released next week, for Rock Band. Breaking Benjamin, Alice In Chains, Kula Shaker and Just Kait have all got tracks being added to the, ever growing,...

Flight Of The Conchords Coming To Rock Band

This week’s Rock Band update might have not been for me, but this certainly is. Formerly New Zealand’s fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo accapella-rap-funk comedy folk duo, Flight Of The Conchords will apparently be making their way to Rock Band. At the Emmy Awards in America, where FOTC were...

Competition Time! – All You Need Is Love

Ok, you should have seen that we have a new advertising partner (GamesBasement) and, because they’re very good, cool, people they have decided to provide us with something pretty spectacular to give away.

Review: The Beatles: Rock Band

A Beatles based music game has been a long time coming. In fact, it’s surprised me that it’s taken so long for the scouse foursome to show up in videogame form. Have Harmonix done justice to one of the most popular bands of all time? Well…I think so.

Rock Band Weekly – Pearl Jam’s Backspacer

After weeks and weeks of Harmonix taking money from me, their good run has come to an end. Not that Pearl Jam aren’t a good band, they’re just not my cup of tea. Their new album, ‘Backspacer’, is being released this week, both, in Rock Band and in the...
