Rock Band: Greatest Game Ever Confirmed

This year’s E3 has been one of the worst all-time for the most part. The big three all had pretty subpar conferences. EA’s conference made up for it with just one game: Rock Band. I already made a post about it a while back, so read up on it if you don’t know. But you should know. It’s only going to be one of the biggest games ever (literally). The official price for the game hasn’t been announced, but $199 is being thrown around for the total package of game + guitar + drums + mic. It’s really not that bad a deal, considering what you’re getting, but it’s still $199 bucks. And you’re only going to end up spending more money. Why? Because EA is promising new DLC (Downloadable Content) every week. And the first thing lined up as DLC: Who’s Next, the entire classic Who album. That is INCREDIBLE.

Not only that, but there will be a “substantial amount of Metallica” available. Oh. My. Fucking. God. “Enter Sandman” will be on the game disc, but they better have some stuff from their first four albums, or I’m going to kill EA.

And the song list so far…i mind-blowingly awesome. (* indicates a cover)

The Who – “Won’t Get Fooled Again”
Mountain – “Mississippi Queen”*
David Bowie – “Suffragette City”
Black Sabbath – “Paranoid”*
Blue Oyster Cult – “Don’t Fear the Reaper”
The Ramones – “Rockaway Beach”
Rush – “Tom Sawyer”*
Bon Jovi – “Wanted Dead or Alive”
Nirvana – “In Bloom”
Stone Temple Pilots – “Vaseline”
Weezer – “Say It Ain’t So”
Foo Fighters – “Learn to Fly”
The Hives – “Main Offender”
The Strokes – “Reptilia”
Queens of the Stone Age – “Go With the Flow”
Metallica – “Enter Sandman”

GO WITH THE FLOW!!!! VASOLINE!! YESSSSSSS!!! This game will rock my balls. I just hope EA doesn’t rape gamers too violently on the microtransactions. Each song should be less than $2, but this is EA.
