Rock Band 2 Leaks More Songs? Published by: wes213 on Friday, July 04, 2008
Tagged: Xbox 360,
Looks like Rock Band info is leaking like an old boat, according to kotaku.com a thread over on the ScoreHero forums (now wiped clean by moderators) had listed a few more songs that are apparently due to appear in Rock Band 2 and it is looking good my friend.
Lots of good stuff here to pick from for sure and even one i know will interest the HQ's own Hobb's, I myself cant wait to get my hands on some man in the box action.
So here is the full list of songs rumored to have been leaked:
"One Step Closer" by Linkin Park
"Peace Sells" by Megadeth (Look Hobb's :) )
"Testify" by Rage Against The Machine
"American Woman" by The Guess Who
"White Wedding" by Billy Idol
"You Oughta Know" by Allanis Morrisette
"Aqua Lung" by Jethro Tull
"Bad Reputation" by Joan Jett
"Drain You" by Nirvana
"Man in the Box" by Alice In Chains
"Spoonman" by Soundgarden
"We Got The Beat" by the Go-Gos
The previously leaked list was rumored to include the following tracks:
"Panic Attack" by Dream Theater or Finger Eleven
"Chop Suey" by System of a Down
"Give It Away" by Red Hot Chili Peppers
"Everlong" by Foo Fighters
"Kids In America" by Kim Wilde
"Ace of Spades" by Motörhead
"Hello There" by Cheap Trick
"Anyway You Want It" by Journey
"Pinball Wizard" by The Who
If this list and the previously leaked list hold true it is sure to be one hell of a year for ROCK BAND fans and dare i say it may even push Guitar Hero off the number one music based game for me.

| Sony's PS3 2.40 Firmware Update Fails, Fancy That! | |
Sony's PS3 2.40 Firmware Update Fails, Fancy That!Published by: forahobby on Thursday, July 03, 2008
Tagged: Gaming, Hardware,
We only just reported on the lack of features that Sony included in its latest update for PS3 owners and now we hear reports that the firmware update is failing on many many PS3 consoles and has now been pulled offline.
As has been reported on many gaming blogs and websites, we have temporarily taken Firmware v2.40 offline. We’ve received a limited number of calls from consumers experiencing an issue with installing the system software update on their PS3. While our consumer services department has seen a low volume of calls on this topic, we are committed to providing the PS3 community with XMB access features delivered in the v2.40 update. We are working diligently to isolate the problem for those few consumers and to identify a solution before we put the firmware back up.
Once again people, You don't see any problems when you use Xbox Live to update your Xbox 360 do you?? No, exactly.. Do i need to say more..?!?!
I think the PS3 owners are lucky they decided to buy a Xbox 360 too otherwise they would never get their games finished!
Read all about what the latest PS3 firmware update is suppose to provide in our story here:
- Latest PS3 Firmware Reveals Achievements
Enjoy your Xbox 360 and the flawless online service it provides.. This is exactly why Xbox LIVE isn't free. See you all online very soon! |

RUMOUR: Guitar Hero: Guns N' Roses for Xbox 360???Published by: forahobby on Thursday, July 03, 2008
Tagged: Gaming, Live Marketplace, Xbox 360,
"Aerosmith" have only just released their first Guitar Hero game and a "Metallica" version dubbed "Guitar Hero: Metallica" is now in the works and due out within the next year, are the Gunners going to be coming next to Guitar Hero??? If not who's next??
Guns N' Roses, The Eagles, Van Halen and Steely Dan amongst various other artists already have deals in the works with either Guitar Hero or Rock Band or both of these companies so who will be the next to sign for a full title??
According to industry tracker NPD Group Inc., Guitar Hero was the top-selling videogame franchise in dollar terms in the U.S in 2007 with $820 million in sales, so you can bet the music industry will be getting involved any way they can.
Overall Guitar Hero, Rock Band and the upcoming new franchises are another great method for all artists to promote their music and let people learn the basics of what it really takes to play a musical instrument while enoying listening to their favorite bands. Practice, practice, practice.
What other famous bands are you looking forward to playing???
Get involved in our forums our blogs and let us know your own opinion.

Rock Revolution is Konami's first attempt to enter the ever expanding Music/Rythym genre and looks to be very interesting. Rock Revolution is planned to have a large multi-pad drum kit and hopefully will bring some new options to the table.

Geometry Wars Evolved 2: AchievementsPublished by: wes213 on Wednesday, July 02, 2008
Tagged: Live Arcade, Xbox 360,
If you had a chance to try your hand at Geometry Wars on XBLA you know how good this game looks and plays and I'm sure you will be as happy to see this bit of information that shows that a part two might be out real soon.
 While i was just site hoping i happened across inside.mygamercard.net and saw this achievement list for Geometry Wars Evolved 2, with no real info but this list that could turn up fake (who knows) its hard to say if the game will be out any time soon if at all
Geometry Wars became an instant classic when it first appeared in Project Gotham Racing® 2. This exclusive Xbox Live Arcade sequel gives you both the original Retro version and a new Evolved mode, which combines modern graphics with old-school fun and now we might have a chance to do it all again.
Click the achievements list for a larger view since i had to scale it down to fit in the post.

| Latest PS3 Firmware Reveals Achievements lol | |
Latest PS3 Firmware Reveals Achievements lolPublished by: forahobby on Tuesday, July 01, 2008
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360, Xbox Live,
With the latest PS3 firmware update it will now allow all PS3 gamers to collect trophies and compare accomplishments against their friends just like xbox 360 owners have been doing since day one with xbox live achievements.
I thought I'd share with you all the latest updates for our PS3 gamers out there who still think they have the best gaming system to date but unfortunately they are very wrong.. :)
Playstation 3 owners are now only just getting options which the Xbox 360 has had since 2005. Read on..
Here's what you get with the latest firmware update:
- A PlayStation Trophy system - The PS Trophy system is very similar to Xbox's achievement points system, that rewards gamers for performing tasks throughout a game. You can earn bronze, silver and gold trophies and if you collect them all, you get a platinum trophy. Your trophy collection becomes part of an expanded profile page, where friends will be able to see how you've been doing in various games and you're overall score. You can also pull a head-to-head comparison with a friend to compare trophies. Developers will be able to set up the trophies later this year and it should appear in new games this fall. It's also patch-able for older games so look out for that.
Wow, now doesnt that sound like your xbox 360 when you purchased it back in 2005 or 2006???? PS are still promising the world but have nothing to offer.
- In game access to the XMB, Sony's cross media bar menu - Before you had to jump out of game to check incoming messages on the XMB, see your friends list, change the settings on your voice changer or pair your Bluetooth device. Now, you can do it all without leaving the game just by pressing the PlayStation button on your controller. You'll want to pause your game first, but now you can message your friends, see an expanded friends list (upped to 100 friends) and do a bunch of other activities all within your game.
Fancy that, thats great, you can now actually msg people while your playing.. Just another feature the Xbox 360 has had since its initial release in 2005.
- Play Custom Soundtracks - Developers will be able to allow gamers to play their own music off the PS3 in place of the game soundtrack. It will all depend on whether a developer allows that but it can be included in new games and patched in older titles. Gamers can just pull up their music selection and place it over the game while keeping the game sounds intact. Since it's up to the developer to enable it, you might see some holdouts who want you to experience the game their way, soundtrack and all.
Yet again this is another feature all xbox 360's have standard as long as you have a Harddrive, USB Device or Network to stream you music from.
- Internet Search - Another goody is the ability to conduct Internet searches using Google from the XMB.
And why do you have a pc? lol
So all in all the latest PS3 update offers nothing new rather then playing catchup once again. Stick with the best gaming platform this generation and stay tuned to www.360-hq.com for all the latest 360 info including gaming (clans), hardware, homebrew, tutorials and more.
Sony will take the another step later this fall with the release of Home, the virtual reality component to its PlayStation Network

| Rock Band 2 Is Set For September | |
Rock Band 2 Is Set For SeptemberPublished by: wes213 on Monday, June 30, 2008
Tagged: Gaming, Live Marketplace, Xbox 360,
Get the tour bus fired up and check the oil Rock Band 2 is now official and it's heading to an Xbox 360 near you this September, other platforms will be releasing later on so hang in there.
One real nice feature is that all your down loadable content RB1 will work just fine in RB2, no you are reading it right there is no DRM and no fee to transfer the music tracks. Think about this, with all your old tracks and the new tracks for RB2 IGN is saying: "the set list at launch may top 300 songs."
All RB1 instruments will work with the sequel but upgraded versions will be available in a bundle pack, Harmonix isn't revealing what these upgrades are just yet.
Rock Band downloads will continue to arrive weekly for both Xbox 360 and PS3. Each track you purchase is essentially extending your library of Rock Band 2 tracks. And even though PS3 owners will have to wait longer to get Rock Band 2 on disc, they will still have access to new down loadable content with RB1. With Rock Band DLC having now surpassed 15 million paid downloads, there appears no end in sight for the most successful digitally distributed product on 360 and PS3.
Perhaps the biggest news so far europ will be getting RB2 at the same time as the US and im sure that makes the entire europion area happy since it took so long for RB1 to releas over there.
