Not sure where to start?  Overwhelmed with all the changes?  Well, RockGamer.com’s highly rated reviewer Cena has all the answers for you in his Xbox Live Experience review. Head over to Cena’s Corner to watch the video walkthroughs and get his meticulous review of what to expect.

Having a hard time recognizing some of the announced songs for the upcoming Rock Band 2? Well, September is around the corner — and so is Battle of the Bands mode — so you better start doing your homework boys and girls!

Fear not. RockGamer.com has compiled a handy one-stop tool where you can preview every song shipping with the Harmonix sequel. Now get crackin’!

Join RockGamerJen, Smeeguel and friends on RockGamer TV as we finally attempt to conquer the Rock Band Endless Setlist on Expert difficulty. Will “Green Grass and High Tides” be too much for Jen on guitar? Will “Run to the Hills” stump Smeeguel on the drums? I guess we’ll find out soon!

Chat with us, heckle us and/or send us virtual Twinkies and moral support here. The fun starts around 12:30PM EST.

[EDIT: 7:45PM - After seven hours and countless retries on "Green Grass and High Tides", we are finally Platinum Artists. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to root for us!]
Platinum!!!

It all started with a friendly bet of cookies if Jen could survive Blackened on Hard Drums. Not impressed by this achievement, RockGamer.com member 1shot1kill promised us he would donate $20 to RockGamer.com if Jen could survive one minute on Expert of (arguably) the toughest drum song on Rock Band, “Young Man Blues” by The Who.

What ensued can only be seen to be believed…

If you are as impressed as 1shot1kill by this achievement, feel free to click here to donate to RockGamer.com… and help Jen get a much-needed new wardrobe.

[EDIT:JEN:  I don't need a new wardrobe - that's my jammies!! - Wait, nevermind, if someone wants me to have new clothes, I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth...  But I still want those cookies!]
