This goes to show you, not even the best of the best can always expert everything! Rush sits down and plays Rock Band on the “expert” setting on the song Tom Sawyer and manages a less than stellar performance.

We’re back this week, and we’re busting through some news articles dealing with Electronic Arts, Activision, Warhammer and more. Community comments, feedback, flashback and game history. The news articles include:
- Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima thinks consoles are dying
- Warhammer Online overcharging players
- EA picking up exclusive publishing rights to Ex-Infinity Ward Developer‘s new studio
- Activision Ex-Infinity Ward Developer’s drama will delay Modern Warfare 3
Gaming flashback is R-Type, game history is Irem and the question of the week: Will the iPad steal market share from the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS product lines? Or mobile gaming in general?
Rock Band 2 Songs ExpandedRock Band 2 Songs Expanded
Game Informer magazine is showing off a few more songs for Rock Band 2. The song list includes yet more great variety in their set list, it’s also said that you’ll be able to pose your characters and upload them to RockBand.com to show them off. Not sure that’s a killer feature, but additional features are always good for new game releases.
Anyway, latest song information:
- Bon Jovi – “Livin’ on a Prayer”
- Steve Miller Band – “Rock ‘n Me”
- Rage Against the Machine – “Testify”
- Billy Idol – “White Wedding Pt. 1”
- Joan Jett – “Bad Reputation”
- Avenged Sevenfold – “Almost Easy”
- Social Distortion – “I Was Wrong”
It wouldn’t be Rock Band without Bon Jovi, apparently, and the inclusion of Testify would make it a rocking good time. We get to flashback to White Wedding as well and you have to respect a game that includes Steve Miller Band!
Recently we received a few tidbits of their song list, now this! Soon we’ll have the entire confirmed list of songs (barring the rumors which have been very accurate so far). What songs would you love to see in a Rock Band game?

Call of Duty 5: World At War TrailerCall of Duty 5: World At War Trailer
One thing Activision does very well with the Call of Duty series is making you feel like you’re part of the war and not just a gamer. It may be the coloring, the life-like environments, explosions or movie-style filtering, whatever it is makes their series feel like a world at war.
Now, we’re heading back to WWII but from a brand new perspective, the Pacific Theatre. Why did it take so long to produce a game in this area of the world? Our guess, to gain the intensity and power of the battle we needed higher end console/pc processors to properly render the jungles, waters and terrains in a life-like manner.
Or, maybe nobody thought of it? In any case this is a must buy game for myself and probably many others, regardless to multi-player capabilities. World at War will be released for Wii, PS3, PS2, Xbox 360, and PC.
