A little bit country, a little less rock and roll
By Kyle Orland | August 17, 2009
So, you been enjoying that Rock Band Country Track Pack? It's OK, you can admit it. Country is the No. 1 radio genre in the United States, even if it doesn't seem that way among hardcore gamers. But if the Country Track Pack has shown us anything, it's that, for rhythm games, country is just as good as rock or hip hop or techno or metal. Anyway, we're especially glad that the Country Track Pack introduced us to Dierks Bentley's catchy song Free and Easy (Down the Road I Go). As luck would have it, he's the next artist in the Samsung Summer Krush Concert Tour, performing tomorrow, Aug. 18 in Atlanta. ...

Theories on the final Beatles: Rock Band song
By Kyle Orland | August 17, 2009
Late last week, word leaked onto the internet (via Game Informer) of 44 of the 45 songs that will be on the final Beatles: Rock Band disc. Since then, I've been asking friends, colleagues, and my extensive iTunes playlist what they thought that mysterious 45th song would be when it was finally revealed. Here are the best theories I heard/came up with, and some supporting/conflicting information for why each will be lucky #45. Got some guesses of your own? Leave them in the comments. The End (listen) Pros: This is the tune that immediately jumped to mind for me. Given the title, it seems a natural choice to hold as the ...

NOT NEWS ALERT: Xbox 360's Netflix 'Exclusivity'
By Kyle Orland | August 11, 2009
A lot of gaming sites are all atwitter this morning about a new Microsoft press release touting the Xbox 360's "exclusive partnership" with Netflix to offer streaming movies on consoles. This sounds like big news, of course, because there have been persistent rumors that Netflix was close to adding similar streaming support to the Wii and/or PS3 in the near future. Engadget seems to be the first one to have explicitly noticed the "exclusive partnership" language this ...

Make your own Game Featuring T-Pain
By Kyle Orland | August 10, 2009
If 50 Cent can have his own big budget game, why not T-Pain? We ask primarily because Mr. Pain ("T" to his friends) is having a concert in New Orleans as part of the Samsung Summer Krush Tour tomorrow night, and you can score free tickets by registering here with promotional code NOLA2. But we're also genuinely interested... what would a T-Pain game consist of? Action? Drama? Music? Would it have as much skull-stealing as Fitty's game? More skull stealing, perhaps? We're drawing ...

The Quotable "The Beatles: Rock Band on QVC"
By Kyle Orland | August 9, 2009
For one hour tonight, QVC tried to sell the Beatles: Rock Band to its audience of parents and grandparents desperate to look cool to their offspring (and grandoffspring). Some key quotes from the hosts to give you an idea of the inanity. "It's the ultimate Beatles Christmas Gift." "If you want it, you can get it right now." [Ed. Note: Not true. It ships 9/9/09] "Think of when these great games come out, by the time Christmas comes around you can't find it." "You can play Paul McCartney's violin bass, and you don't even have to play left handed!" "That's Ringo's drum kit, isn't it?" "I think it's ...

Ten Questions: Offspring's Noodles
By Kyle Orland | July 30, 2009
Concerts are always better when you feel like you have a personal connection with the band. With that in mind -- and in honor of our Samsung Summer Krush Tour ticket giveaway -- we asked Offspring guitarist Noodles (yes, it is SO a real name!) ten vital questions about his gaming experience. --- 1. Do you play games? Yes, I do. 2. What games do you play? I love all the Grand Theft Auto Games, the ATV Fury games, and I keep going back to my Kelly Slater Pro Surfer game. 3. What's the longest stretch of time you ever spent playing a game? Oh, I don't know, maybe half a day? 4. What in-game item do you wish you could use in real ...

Contests Galore: Free Tickets, Free Phones, Free Stardom!
By Kyle Orland | July 29, 2009
Aspiring bands across the country are getting a chance at stardom with Harmonix's recently announced Rock Band Network, which lets indie bands submit their tracks as downloadable Rock Band songs. But why settle for virtual stardom when you and your band could have a chance at real stardom? The Samsung Summer Krush Tour is running a contest to find the opening act for its final leg in Hollywood, CA. The winning band will also get five grand, an appearnace in SPIN Magazine and a chance to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Not too shabby! Don't have a band? ...

The iPhone's REAL killer gaming feature (or: How my iPod Touch saved me from Nancy Grace)
By Kyle Orland | July 15, 2009
So, last night didn't go exactly as planned for me. After winning an intramural softball game and going out for some thai food with my wife, I had planned to catch up on some work and then catch up with some friends for homemade ice cream. Instead, my work was interrupted by a call from a friend who lives five flights down: "Can I ask you a favor?" "Probably, what's up?" "Can you drive me to the hospital?" Short story even shorter, my friend was worried that his vision was starting to blur after being hit in the eye with an errant softball throw just hours earlier. Obviously, I dropped what I was doing and ran down to grab my car. In my slightly panicked rush, I didn't have the time or presence of mind to grab a DS or a ...

Need a Band Name? Look to Classic Games
By Kyle Orland | June 10, 2009
So after getting recommendations from roughly one gazillion people I trust and respect over the years (both virtually and in person), I'm finally getting into the Scott Pilgrim graphics novels these days. There's a a lot to like there -- the natural writing, the complex relationships, the slowly evolving characters -- but one of my favorite parts is the subtle video game references. The gaming allusions appear all over the place, but most notably so far (I've just finished book 3) in the fake band names that pop up in the book. Sex Bob-omb, The Clash at Demonhead, Kid Chameleoon, Crash and the Boys (a.k.a. The Boys! And Crash!) -- for some reason classic game references seem to be the major inspiration for band names in the Pilgrim-verse. I know there's at least some real world basis for this, too, after seeing ...
