There've been rumors about Lego Indy 2 coming later this year, along with Lego Harry Potter sometime this year or next.

I hear that. It was smooth sailing through expert bass on GHWT over this last week for me, but then I got to the very last song, "B.Y.O.B.", and crashed and burned about 10% of the way in. That intro is just absurdly-difficult. Normally I'd just forget it, as I hate that song anyway, but that's a hundred-pointer, man. Gotta pass it.

One train of thought I've read is that they're going to try for an E rating on this and keep the song selection more family friendly. If this is the case, then there is a reason for this as a stand-alone title. Further it'll either have no DLC or be limited in what is available. However, the content would be exportable to RB2+.

Oh! I thought it sounded like him, but then not so much. It actually made me wonder if it was present-day Cronin on top of the original music. Then I figured I was wrong altogether and it was Murphy. It probably makes more sense that it's an alternate Cronin vocal track from the original recordings.

They will be releasing a LEGO Prince of Persia next year to come out with the new movie. LEGO Rock Band looks like it could end up being like fun. If nothing else..it'll make someone a lot of money.

Checked out the previews of the Styx remakes and the snippets sounded pretty damn good. Tommy Shaw's voice sounded in fine form and didn't even sound like he had aged that much. It definitely sucks that they aren't the originals but I will have to pick all three of these up.
Not a big fan of REO Speedwagon but Take It On The Run is my favorite song by them which makes me happy. I now Roll With The Changes but never really cared for that song too much. The other one I didn't recognize.
Their combo song sounded pretty lame and generic (again, going by the snippet) and I will likely pass on it.
I forgot they released the whole Chinese Democracy album. I am gonna have to suck it up and spend the 1600 points on it. Guns it's not but it is a great Axle Rose solo album. If you let that keep you away, you are missing a well done and catchy album.

What I liked best about it is that the RB mix is different (obviously, since HMX has to do their own mixes of each component)....it gives you an opportunity to hear a bunch of stuff that is a little more buried when listening to the actual CD....I really liked hearing some of the guitar playing more upfront and clearer in some sections in a few of the tracks......it made me appreciate how dense and layered the songs on the album are even more!

That is pretty strange. From my experience, Beatles: Rock Band would be a better choice for the easier than easy difficulty. Kids, if they're not already into these games, pick it up really quick. My parents on the other hand just couldn't get the hang of it.

Rock Revolution had a 'Beginner' difficulty as well.

The Styx/REO pack is fantastic. This is an excellent week for the vocalists, and the drum charts were fun as well. I need to play them a few more times to get a good feel for the drums, though. I noticed a lot of triplets on the Styx songs, and some of them threw me for a loop.
