Kieran Helps writes: "Rock Band 3 sneaks up upon us with very little in the way of fanfare, the reason for this is that the core gameplay is essentially Rock Band 1, with new songs and new instruments. Needless to say however anybody who enjoys this genre will not be short-changed forking out some extra coin for new songs. The instruments however, I'm not too sure...
Rock Band 3 is a hard game to review, by now everyone will know what they are getting from a new music game, unless you are in it for the pro Guitar or Keyboard options. But even then, it’s still the best in the genre and very enjoyable. The only downside comes for those new to the genre, as this game thrives on having a huge back catalogue of tracks to play, especially if you own all the versions available. For newcomers it may be wise to look at each game and choose which one has the strongest draw in regard to songs, and then work your way from there."
Dave writes: "Hopefully time will be kind to Rock Band 3. It’s the equivalent of a Blade Runner or Van Gogh, unappreciated and undersold in its own time, but something that has undeniable quality. We may never see another Rock Band, no encore to this great series, but in Rock Band 3 and Rock Band 4, we got some pretty awesome final tracks."

"It sounds simple enough, but due to the expiration of licenses, one of the four songs, Promised Land by Vesuvius, is no longer available to download. If you previously had it downloaded, it will *not* be taken away, so you'll still be able to grab this one."
Well damn it. I really dig that song from The Rocker and I did not know it was in RB3. I stopped playing after RB2.
Online achievement/trophies are dumb. I’m not sure why they still include them. I recall the modern warfare games were applauded for not including them.
Unless the game is an online only game because what choice is there at that point.
Half of these are false .. The Evolve one can still unlocked... Ghostbusters is only unachievable on PS3 its still online on 360.. Destiny 2 one is only unobtainable for a while as said by bungie... GTAV one can still be unlocked too in a private game. And the Black Ops 3 one can still be unlocked using a few different methods. Guy who wrote this is clueless.
When a games server goes offline then they should allow users to create their own p2p servers to keep these games active. They should also unlock or delete the trophies from any list to those who havent got them.
I can think of a few honorable mentions. there is one for smartglass seeing as smartglass is now defunct. there is also ones for 1v100 and dorito crash course 2 since both of those games are also defunct.
