    At its most basic level, pet battles are a game of rock, paper, scissors. Flying beats Aquatic, Aquatic beats Elemental, and so forth. However, there are a few pets that change up that dynamic and add another level of complexity to the system. The Nether Faerie Dragon, for example, is a Flying pet. Despite its Flying designation, it abandons most stock Flying abilities, possessing a range of powerful Magic abilities instead. Its abilities are as follows: Slot 1 Slicing Wind or Evanescence Slot 2 Arcane Blast or Life Exchange Slot 3 Moonfire or Cyclone Only two out of six spells on this Flying-type pet are actually Flying abilities, while the rest are Magic. Choosing between Slicing Wind and Evanescence is purely a matter of personal preference -- the former provides more offensive versatility while the latter provides more defensive options. However, it almost seems foolish to pass up the deadly combination of Arcane Blast and Moonfire.

    Time to get those goth-rock glamour gowns out of storage, because next week's Rock Band DLC features the emotional tunes of Evanescence. Vocalists should be prepared to warm up at least 15-20 minutes before attempting any type of Amy Lee belting.

    Spinal Tap lands on Rock Band next week and will be ready to turn it up to 11. Just remember to keep an eye on your drummer -- Spinal Tap and drummers don't mix well. Next week's Rock Band Weekly also adds Evanescence. Male vocalists shouldn't even bother. Seriously, it's one thing to sing "Bring Me to Life" with the windows rolled up in your car, but it's a little different trying to do it with others around.Spinal Tap Pack (560 / $7) "Back from the Dead" (160 / $2) "Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare" (160 / $2) "Saucy Jack" (160 / $2) "Warmer Than Hell" (160 / $2) Evanescence Pack (440 / $5.50) "Bring Me to Life" (160 / $2) "Call Me When You're Sober" (160 / $2) "Weight of the World" (160 / $2) All tracks are masters and will be available for download next Tuesday and Thursday on Xbox 360 and PS3, respectively.
