Fight the Foo with the Rock Band 2 gameplay debut
The second savory dish on the pre-E3 smorgasbord: the gameplay debut trailer for Rock Band 2. Unfortunately, this premiere video doesn't do a great job of highlighting the new features that were explained at last month's cleverly-named EA3 event, such as the online world tour and drum training modes. What it does show us is a few of the game's trippy new cutaway visuals, and that we're going to need to get some extra arms surgically attached to our torsos if we hope to play the drumming portion of "Everlong" on expert. Hopefully, we can undergo this risky Gorofication procedure before Rock Band 2's September launch on the 360.
UK and Ireland get purchasable Foo vids
Our friends in the UK and Ireland received some new non-video game related XBLM content today, with four Foo Fighter music videos available for download. These four musical gems include Foo songs "All My Life", "My Hero", "The Pretender" and "Times Like These". But before you get too excited fellow Foo lovers, know that this content is far from being free and will set you back 200 Microsoft points each. We don't know about you, but we like our music to be either free or include some kind of Rock Band or GHIII functionality, especially for 200 points. Meh to it all.
Velvet Revolver, Foo Fighters Guitar Hero III track packs hit Xbox Live
We think the signs are pretty clear now that Activision isn't taking the threat from Rock Band lying down. Just a bit more than a week after Guitar Hero III was released, we already have two meaty song packs to download through Xbox Live and enjoy.For 500 points ($6.25) you can get either a Foo Fighters pack that includes "The Pretender" from the new album "Echoes Silence Patience & Grace", "All My Life" and "This Is A Call" or the Velvet Revolver pack, with "She Builds Quick Machines","Slither" and "Messages". Each of the packs are by the original artists. With a nice boost like this to the track listing before the old songs have even gone stale, it's clear Red Octane is playing for keeps. ... You may not want to count Guitar Hero out just yet.Update: Activision has also announced that boss battle anthems and "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" will be downloadable (for free!) later this month for play outside the game's Career mode.
