UPDATE – Beatles Make It Into Rock Band
At the time of this post, further details were yet to be announced, but it appears official, Viacom and MTV Networks (owners of “Rock Band”) have licensed Beatle songs for their Rock Band game.

Rock Band Guitar String Mod
I can’t even count the number of times people say to me “Rock Band isn’t like playing a real guitar, it’s doesn’t even have any strings. This drives me insane and forces me to punch them in the throat. Please don’t confuse the fun of a game with the real world of music. Would you [...]

OMFG, isn’t this the coolest Guitar Hero hack you have ever seen? I want to see these guys live. Maybe they should use the Rock Band drums and microphone as well.
Jam Sessions – Mini Amp For Your DS
Think Guitar Hero for the DS. Ubisoft takes a serious leap with Jam Sessions for the Nintendo DS. The game is basically a guitar simulator, and while you can play along with whatever the game is jamming, the serious fun comes from the improvisational aspects of the game: You can pretty much play the DS [...]
