Rock Band 3 review round-up: third time’s a charm
The music game genre? Stagnating? Not on Harmonix’s watch – which probably features a tiny person windmill-strumming a guitar in place of normal hands. Just when you thought you’d cast aside your tumultuous life of touring from living room to living room and having legions of women throw themselves as far as possible from you, Harmonix decided to rope you back in with Pro mode, a keyboard peripheral, and a whole host of much-needed tweaks.
But let’s face it: this stuff’s expensive. And learning to play real music is hard. Is it all really worth your time and money? Find out after the break.

Interview – Remedy’s Matias Myllyrinne looks back on Alan Wake and the DLC
Alan Wake is a fine game. It reviewed very well, getting an 83 on Meta, and is a shoe-in for those Game of the Year lists that’ll start popping up any day now.
It goes without saying, but needless to say, Alan Wake’s a bit more then just alright.
After five years in development, the Remedy thriller released in May for Xbox 360, and has seen two DLC episodes release since then: The Signal in July and The Writer earlier this month.
We spoke to Remedy’s managing director Matias Myllyrinne and gave a bit of a look back on the game, its DLC, as well as the now-canned PC version, the feedback towards the game and more.
Give it a read below.
[WARNING: We do talk about the DLC, The Signal and The Writer, which takes place after the main game ends. If you hit the break, you do so at your own risk. Beware.]
