GWN just received an email from Rock Band's PR firm. Attached to the email was a word doc containing tons of new and exciting details about the game, including new screenshots and the game logo. Here's a small taste from the full article:
"Drumming in the spotlight! Showcase a real drum solo with Rock Band's freestyle drum fill windows featured in each song. Break out your own rhythm and style as anything goes!
Call out the crowd! Vocalists can bring the crowd to their feet during Rock Band's freestyle vocal fill windows. Ad-lib your own words or shout to the crowd to raise the rock intensity of the performance.
Save your mates! Band mates can fail out of a song for poor performance, but the band still plays on. Rescue your failing mate by busting out signature moves and blistering solos to wow the crowd with showmanship.
Boost your bonus! Earn bonus points for your band during Rock Band's Unison Phrase opportunities if everyone plays perfectly. A single mistake blows the phrase for everyone."
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Damn I can't wait for this game! I just wish I could play GH 2 on my ps3 it just teases me and sits in the corner collecting dust. November can't come soon enough.
Is the site down?
Edit: Working now. This game looks amazing.
Yeah, I think the whole site is down... which sucks.
F5 F5 F5 F5.... any minute now.... F5 F5 F5.....
This sounds absolutely amazing, especially for those wanabee rockstars who have no talent whatsoever and have to live their dream through a game - ME!!
I think creating a band online and touring sounds mindblowingly good - I can't wait to get my hands on that Fender so I can belt out some Iron Maiden at Madison Square Gardens
Finally up again!! Not a lot of new news there. However it does mention some surprises as far as Bass goes. Also, the drum pedal is confirmed to have some resistance to it, which is awesome.
