Rock Band Drums vs. Guitar Hero World Tour Drums
Guitar Hero is playing catch up against Rock Band and are they playing a good game of catch up. I didn’t think my living room could handle another drum set but when I saw the demo video I am pretty impressed. They talked about sensitivity hits, meaning the harder or softer you hit the drum set, will effect the amount of sound it will make in the game. I pound on my Rock Band Drum set big time, ala Dave Grohl. So, if my drumming style will finally get some points or credit in the game that would be cool. Looks like they put alot of work and celebs into creating this set. They also kept talking about how the set will easily fold up and stored. They might have mentioned that fact three times in the video. That has to be a biggest issue most gamers face, because we just don’t have enough room in our living rooms for another drum set. Hopefully Red Octane will be gracious enough to make the set compatiable with Rock Band. We’ll soon find out.

How To Get a Perfect score on Rock Band Green Grass High Tides
Friday, May 16th, 2008We’ve seen plenty of Guitar Hero automation hacks and now its Rock Band’s turn. Originally, they tried using photoresistors suction cupped to the TV, but failed miserably. So, they used software used for Christmas light shows to get the job done. The video does a pretty thorough job of explaining the process, although the programming they used does get a bit complicated.
