It’s hard enough to find a game sequel that is dramatically better than the original, and even more difficult to find a third installment that’s even better.
Maybe that’s why I was prepared for disappointment with Rock Band 3.
Hopeful? Yes, but I was also ready to be let down.
Fortunately, in all the ways that matter, Rock Band 3 is better than it’s predecessors, and if you’ll pardon the pun (if you play the game, you’ll understand) it delivers in Spades.
More Rock Band? Please.
More Trophies for Rock Band? Extra Please!
A really long list of Bronze Trophies, and a few near impossible Silvers? Not sounding as good.
This is not a Trophy hunter’s game. Buy it because you like rhythm games.
Also… some trophies REQUIRE a keyboard, and others REQUIRE the Pro Guitar. You know, the guitar that won’t be in stores for about another month.
Harmonix, EA, and MTV Games decided to skip an annual iteration of their Rock Band franchise this year, instead concentrating on a game focused on the most successful band in history.
Is this just a song pack for Rock Band 2, or maybe something more…
Find out after the break.
My past experience with the Guitar Hero franchise has been… complicated.
Activision/Red Octane/Neversoft have just released Guitar Hero Smash Hits, a compilation of some of the best music from earlier guitar-only games, but with Guitar Hero World Tour mechanics and parts for guitar, bass, drums, and vocals.
Is the music selection alone enough to change my mind about the franchise?

Let’s put aside the Napster thing, the questionable quality of their latest release, the baffling attitude towards their fans, and the emotional breakdowns.
Whether you like it or not, Metallica is a pretty big deal.
Here’s my review of Guitar Hero: Metallica.

Time again to pit two similar games against each other.
This time we’ll be looking at rhythm game behemoths Guitar Hero: World Tour and Rock Band 2.
Two games enter… one game leaves…
Sony has been working with Neversoft and Activision, Harmonix and Konami for the past several months to ensure that PlayStation 3 guitars and drum sets will all feature a basic level of gameplay compatibility. Check the other side for the info.
After snapping my sixth(!) Rock Band bass pedal, I went on a seek and destroy mission to find an indestructible replacement.
Along the way, I ran across other Third Party solutions for my drum kit, some of them good, some of them bad.
Here are the results.
