I know. I know you're flipping out now. But I have to exalt you, especially since you're getting ready for LoZ: TP. I am too! +71

Front page updated

I literally jumped out of my chair when I saw the list - definately flipping out

TP is going to be just as great! So much to look foward to ;D

Exalt for you cause you rock! (of course) and I haven't done one in a while

Well, yesterday I went out to get the demo disk in OPM's November Issue. It was very much worth the money I spent on it ;D

4 songs on the disk:
"Shout at the Devil"
"You Really Got Me"
"Strutter"
"YYZ"

All of these are playable on any difficulty, but I only played on expert

Out of these songs, I like all but "Shout at the Devil" (too easy)

I had been anticipating YYZ for quite some time, and was very pleased with the way it worked out

3 note chords threw me a loop the first time I saw them, but it only took a moment to get the hang of it

2-Player is also avaliable on the demo disk if you have 2 SG controllers

Finally, the list is official! I don't think much changed from the last link I posted, but I have it in writing. Its set for release Nov. 7, 2006.

Heh seems they still want to keep some things under wraps...but at least we have the entire licensed list ;D

[Dez]

Guess what? A bunch of bonus songs have just been confirmed (I'll post the list soon, too tired tonight)...

Anyways, one of the confirmed songs was

TROGDOR!!!!

I cannot believe this...so awesome ;D

If you don't watch Homestar Runner, you probably won't know Trogdor...the link below is his appearance:

The song most likely is not the version that plays in that email, but the one on the Strongbad album (with the "dueling guitar solos!")

Burninating the countryside, burninating all the peasants! TROGDOR!
I officially NEED this game.

I can't clarify this just yet with a cited source, but this is good news! If its true that is.

Red Octane announced today they will be releasing a wireless controller for Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero 2.
"RedOctane has long been committed to offering high-quality videogame accessories for gamers,” said Dusty Welch, head of publishing at RedOctane. “Being able to give our fans an option to rock the wireless guitar controller was definitely a priority for us, and it’ll provide another exciting experience for players to achieve rock star status!”

The device will ship in November, and will retail for $59.99

I read that on gamespot. The 360 better have a wireless guitar. I don't see why not.

IT FINALLY CAME!!!

I haven't had much time to play, but I completed one expert song so I could unlock a few bonus songs I wanted to see

Arterial Black - this one did not let me down. They made it exactly the way I imagined. The opening riff is so fun and the solo is amazing for using HO/POs ;D

Trogdor - surprisingly hard for what looked like a simple song. And yet really fun

Thunderhorse - much harder when you actually are playing (I can't seem to nail the "horse gallop" rhythm )

This game is just so awesome and so much better than the first

[Dez]

I just used practice mode to improve on the solo in Arterial Black

I used to barely get by...now I can at least keep the meter in the yellow ;D

[Dez]

Well after about a month now, I've managed to 5-star every song except for:

Psychobilly Freakout
Misirlou
Gemini
Six

And I can't even beat Jordan, so that is going to take a long time...
