There are some different songs here and there, but essentially both packs are using the same library, just different samples of the same tunes. While by definition these are two totally new and different packs of music, there's no escaping the fact that it feels cheapened by the idea that Harmonix and Hasbro haven't made[...]

But you rarely hear it these days, because radio favors songs that only last 3-4 minutes long — while this track can fill a third of an hour in radio minutes. Harmonix has done an impressive job of keeping Rock Band 4 fans engaged by offering weekly DLC tracks that vary in style and artist while[...]

Hasbro and Harmonix had a little something special to show off at E3 this year in Dropmix, which kind of made me excited to get back into deck building games while still being a music fan The game is a combination of a five-card board along with a deck of cards, each of them containing[...]

The port of the game had followed the franchise around for a long time, and alas, Rock Band responded by trying to crowd fund the port on PC to the tune of 1.5 Million on crowd funding site Fig. Sadly, the campaign failed to materialize as Harmonix would have liked it seems The campaign has now[...]
