The battle of setlists continues, as the full and complete tracks list for Activision’s DJ Hero 2. The first game underwhelmed on the sales charts, but amid the myriad of music and rhythm games, there’s definitely an opportunity and a niche for DJ Hero 2. And with a playlist… Full Story

Keytar!
By Greg Picken | 25 Aug 2010 | No Comments

Ok, maybe it’s not a keytar proper, but it can function as a keytar, and that’s all I need to know. Harmonix’s upcoming Rock Band 3 has it, and I want to rock it out, 80′s style. See mom? Those piano lessons weren’t a complete waste of money after… Full Story

Rock Band 3 Setlist “Leaked” by Harmonix?
By Jeff Peeters | 21 Aug 2010 | One Comment

It’s one thing to address an information leak for your upcoming game with a terse “No comment” and some marketing jibber jabber. That’s been done a million times. It’s a whole other thing to post a 2 minute video rebuttal from the GamesCom floor. Which is what three folks… Full Story

Review: Castlevania: Harmony of Despair
By Jeff Peeters | 21 Aug 2010 | No Comments

Castlevania: Harmony of Despair is a slight deviation from the traditional Castlevania games. Sure, the classic 2D action-adventure platforming is still there, but this new installment, part of the Xbox Live Summer of Arcade series, deviates from the formula a little bit. Instead of a large, expansive castle

By Greg Picken | 20 Aug 2010 | No Comments

Being able to play as the enemy isn’t exactly something new, but being the Arbiter or random thugs and villains is one thing. Playing as real-life enemies, the kind who gave sanctuary and support to Al Qaida though, that’s something that doesn’t sit nearly as well with… Full Story

Yoda!
By Greg Picken | 12 Aug 2010 | No Comments

When it comes to Force Unleashed, I still have mixed feelings. The original trilogy fan in me finds the entire concept an affront to the stories I grew up loving. However, the person who hates the prequel trilogy figures that if George Lucas is going to piss all over… Full Story
