Guitar Hero World Tour and Rock Band 2

January 29th, 2009 Posted by Louise

Most of these discussions involve the quality of the equipment and all of the features of the game, but I think one of the most important factors is overlooked, the songs. Truth be told, there are a lot of similar tracks between GHWT and Rock Band 2. I received Rock Band 2 for Christmas, and after I had been playing it at my home, I went over a friend's house.

Nothing gets fans more excited than hearing their favorite band finally is getting back together and hitting the road. Well, this year I’m a little less than excited to announce that Creed is reportedly getting back together to hit the road and tour.

If you haven’t heard about it, it really doesn’t shock me. With bands like Nickelback, Alter Bridge, and Creed, minus Scott Stapp, putting out average sounding arena rock, where does Creed fit in? I think Stapp is doing this (the reunion)...
