Former PC Magazine Lab Director, longtime fanatic gamer, and apparently, rock-star wannabe Matt Sarrel has been blogging on games for a few years now, at Game On! Recently he got a chance to preview the much-anticipated Rock Band, developed by Harmonix Music Systems and being released next month for the Xbox 360 and PS3 by MTV Games and EA.
Here's an excerpt:
To cut to the chase, I loved it. I had a great time playing the game. So much fun. It really tapped the closet musician in me. Much more than Guitar Hero, which is a hell of a lot of fun too, but Rock Band gives you more variety... I wish there were more songs in the game, but overall I totally have to recommend Rock Band for people who want to play music games.
Read Matt's entire Rock Band preview here; it's got lots more details.
And in a case of true synchronicity, just as I was about to hit "publish" on this post, I got e-mail from MTV Games with the confirmed set list for Rock Band. Check it out after the jump.
Rock Band Set List: In addition to the 45 tracks listed below, Rock Band will also feature 13 songs ranging from a variety of established bands to up-and-coming independent artists that can be unlocked as you play through the game.
