"As my author bio at the top of the page lists, I mentioned that not only am I a gamer, but I’m also a musician as well. I’m a vocalist by nature, but I also dabble in other instruments, such as the piano, guitar and bass guitar. But, in no way, shape or form do I consider myself great, hence the wording “dabble.”
Games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero allow players to take part in a performance of popular songs by playing controllers that are modeled after musical instruments. Over the years..."
"The deals this week are gift card heavy as both Target and Toys R Us are offering gift cards with the purchase of select games for the PS3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii. Meanwhile, GameStop kicks off their Power Saver Sale where you can get 10-50% off of select titles and free shipping. And, if you're looking for a new Xbox 360, K-Mart has a pretty good deal on a new Xbox 360 and Transformers: War for Cybertron."
"... limiting the game to only three performances means there isn’t a lot of variety to be seen. You’ll be on one of three stages, in one of three outfits and playing (with minor exceptions) from one of three albums. Most of the unlockable photos simply chronicle the rise and fall of Billie Joe’s hair ..."
"When news first seeped out about Green Day: Rock Band during waves upon waves of uninspiring DLC, my fret hand rejoiced at the possibility of dousing myself in gallons of songs from one of my favourite bands. It's pretty much anyone's natural reaction (...hopefully) when they're given the possibility to become a Fischer Price cover band of their idols, but Harmonix's previous duet with The Beatles means that the tenacious trio must follow in the daunting looking footsteps of legends. Legends ..."
"Green Day: Rock Band is exactly what the name would imply; nothing more and nothing less. The game has the tried-and-true mechanics that have powered the franchise for a few years now, and offers a solid catalog of songs from the titular band. It goes without saying that your enjoyment of the game overall stems on how much you love (or hate) Green Day’s music, but if you are a fan, then this game could be worth your time and money. Otherwise, skip it altogether."
"Solid Snake makes his return this week in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for the PSP to headline the video game releases for this week. Rock Band fans will also get to enjoy a new version featuring punk rockers Green Day while golf fans get a new Tiger Woods for the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii."
"Good news for all you American idiots as Harmonix and MTV Games has released a demo for Green Day: Rock Band exclusively for the Xbox 360. The demo comes in at around 307 MB so you won't have to clear any extra data to enjoy the game. Experience the rise of Green Day from hometown punk heroes to worldwide musical vanguards. All your favorite tracks are here, including songs from Dookie all the way up to 21st Century Breakdown. Relive the famed punk scene of the early '90s and carry the banner..."
"Without a doubt, gamers have to be living in one of the best times possible for new releases. Not only have we had great games to look forward to each month, but each month has been better than the last."
"Ever since the reactions Harmonix had received for The Beatles Rock Band game, they knew there was a hit on their hands. Green Day Rock Band is set to mimic that success with authentications that not only define the Green Day name but leap forward for the Rock Band franchise. I sat down with lead designer Chris Foster and publicist Stephanie Myers at the MTV headquarters for a hands on of the game."
Electronic Arts and Harmonix have released new screenshots for their next music game entitled Green Day: Rock Band. The screenshots look pretty awesome.
"The standalone Rock Band title will contain a total of 47 on-disc tracks (The Beatles: Rock Band had 45), including the albums Dookie & American Idiot in their entirety. The collection blends those two albums with greatest hits and fan favorites, and are featured across three separate venues which aim to highlight three iconic period's in the band's 20+ year career. (Even though Billie Jo Armstrong appears not to have aged since 1993.)"
"Green Day: Rock Band allows players to step onto the stage and into the shoes of Green Day, the multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning band that jump-started the punk-pop revival and has continued to pave the way for American rock music into the 21st century. Taking on the likenesses of Green Day members Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool, players progress through the story and history of Green Day, gaining access into the band’s media vault, where they can unlock more than one hundr..."
"Harmonix and MTV Games have announced the release date, features, and prices for the upcoming Green Day version of Rock Band. Lauding the pop punk rockers, the press releases states that the game "aims to encapsulate the spirit and energy of a band that has sold more than 50 million records worldwide and been hailed as one of the best live acts touring today.""
"Harmonix and MTV Games have announced that a three pack of songs from Finnish rockers HIM, as well as singles from KSM, Marilyn Manson, One Night Only and The Police, will be added next week to the Rock Band Music Store of downloadable content for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii. These are among the more than 400 artists currently available through the Rock Band platform."
"Today, a Harmonix representative released a statement to Gaming Target that EA is back on board as the distributor of Green Day: Rock Band. The full statement was barely two sentences."
EA executives talks about "something far reaching from Mass Effect" in early 2011 and explains why there was no mention of new games from the Rock Band franchise in yesterday's quarterly financial report.
