    Rock Band

    Featured ItemUser BeanBone has added the latest in music simulation games, Rock Band: Special Edition for the XBOX 360. Over the holiday break, this game caused quite a stir in the video game industry. Unlike Guitar Hero, which is limited to just playing the guitar, Rock Band allows the user to play the drums, guitar, and even sing! While it is most enjoyable playing together with others, it does offer individual career modes for mic, lead guitar, and drums. The game offers music from some of the greatest bands in history such as Metallica, The Ramones, and the Rolling Stones. Have no fear, Fall Out Boy is also a part of the mix.
