If you’re a fan of the Escapist magazine and their reviews by Ben Yahtzee, you’ll be pleased to know he’s put out his review of Guitar Hero World Tour. Word of warning: foul language and missing punctuation involved.
Now that you’ve had your Turkey dinner, Black Friday is mere moments away. Before you hit the streets at unbelievable hours, consider sharing your passion for music with these incredible deals. I’ve prepared a one-stop music game shop for Black Friday 2008. Share the love, and give the gift of music to someone this holiday season.
RockGamerJen has come down with a serious case of Fallout 3-itis, so until she recovers (or beats the damn game), it looks like I’m manning the reporter’s desk.
So… interesting week on the Rock Band DLC front. We’re getting another batch of European songs, ranging from Italian rock/pop (Finley’s “Tutto E’ Possibile”) to Finnish metal (Children of Bodom’s “Are You Dead Yet”).
Additionally, we have MTV/Harmonix’s first attempt to tap the pre-teen demographic through Rock Band, with a pair of tunes by the Naked Brothers — “Body I Occupy” and “I Don’t Want to Go to School” — and Miranda Cosgrove (aka the Poor Man’s Miley Cyrus) with “Headphones On.”
Unless you speak Spanish, Italian or have a grade schooler in your home, this might not be the week for you. On the bright side, all the songs are either 99 cents or free! If that’s not enough to sway you, just hold out an extra week for the rumored release of the No Doubt: The Singles pack. And if you do happen to be a fan of Platero Y Tú, ¡enhorabuena! As always, check out DLC Central for video previews and more.
Below you will find HMXSean’s official announcement from the Rock Band forums:

RockGamer.com reader Kijdhefgi gives his thoughts on the 3rd string player in the rock games battle
Rock Revolution is well worth it for the $15 I paid for it at Best Buy. I’d recommend a rental of it but it’s cheap enough to go out and buy. It’s fun to bandwagon on hating this but it’s not a bad game. Their PR is really bad and I can see that turning a lot of people off from it, and their own drumkit is kinda funky, but the game itself is enjoyable. Then again, there’s enough of you people that hate on things you’ve never played or listened to around here, so I’m not sure if anyone’s gonna heed my advice and try this out. Oh well. I like it, and I’m better than you.
