Fried Chicken!: Queen DLC Announced for Rock Band

DateFriday, October 2, 2009 at 12:07PM

Not content announcing a few songs that at least a few people are going to want every week, Harmonix has thrown down the gauntlet. With the entirety of Abbey Road being released for The Beatles: Rock Band on October 20th, it was already going to be a hard day on the wallets for Rock Band aficionados.

But then they has to go and do something like this.

A ten pack of Queen DLC will be hitting the standard Rock Band store on October 20th, featuring a cornucopia of universally loved hits: 

  • Another One Bites the Dust
  • Crazy Little Thing Called Love
  • One Vision
  • Fat Bottomed Girls
  • I Want It All
  • I Want to Break Free
  • Killer Queen
  • Somebody to Love
  • Tie Your Mother Down
  • Under Pressure 

Pricing is currently unannounced, but based on most previous DLC releases, individual tracks will cost $2 and there will be some sort of discount for buying the full package. But let's face it, it's taken two years for Queen to hit Rock Band, most of us are ready to just give Freddie and Harmonix our wallets, oil ourselves up, and share the vision together.

Tomena Sanner Coming to America

DateTuesday, September 8, 2009 at 09:04AM

For a long time now I've dreamed of a rhythm based platformer, where your timed button presses would allow you to run, fight, and moonwalk, all without breaking the beat. Turns out that this game already exists overseas, and, according to the ESRB, is now coming to the states under the title "Tomena Sanner".

Originally a mobile phone game and then ported to Wiiware, Tomena Sanner puts you in control of a Japanese Salaryman who has only one minute to make it to a crucial business meeting to synergize some intuitive analysis. Along the way, he'll dodge pedestrians, dance with astronauts, and even fight off the demons of Hell in order to meet his prospective client. While not a music game, each stage has it's own rhythm to follow in order to avoid the obstacles between you and your prospective client, requiring the continuous tapping of the "A" button to play.

Now, can we get Muscle March sent over here too? The U.S. Wii library is sadly deficient of shiny well-oiled men crashing through walls.
