News Viacom To Sell Off Rock Band Developer Harmonix
Blimey, the "plastic-instrument" genre really does appear to be dead
Viacom's announced intent to sell off Harmonix, the developer behind the Rock Band series. No explanation was offered in the company's financial report, but it's probably partly due to Rock Band 3's poor commercial performance. The game was a critical smash, but it couldn't muster...

Rock Band 3
Yes, Rock Band 3. That's a video game (apparently). And it's not too far away — the keyboard flavoured music game is set to attack US stores this October 26th.

Rumour So Rock Band 3 Features A Keytar, Then
Given our certainty earlier this week that Rock Band 3 would feature some form of light-up keyboard, a report from Ars Technica sounds kind of disappointing
They're claiming that Rock Band 3 will feature a keytar. A keytar? Come on that's lame. Ars are all speculating that a new "Pro" mode will be included "that will require proper...

If you have any interest in Green Day then you've probably checked out the demo for Green Day: Rock Band
We're kind of hoping your interest in Green Day spans the Dookie-era and, well, only the Dookie-era. Anyway, irrelevance. What's important is the teaser image at the end of the Green Day: Rock Band demo. It shows teaser images of guitars, bass,...

News Harmonix Taking "Wait And See" Approach To The Beatles: Rock Band DLC
Worry not, The Beatles: Rock Band DLC is coming

Rock Band Unplugged is essentially a compilation of the following parts: the concept of the Playstation 2's Amplitude, a rock-and-roll background and the system-selling name of Rock Band
