All the news that's fit to rock out to
EA Games brought down the thunder at Leipzig with a whole host of announcements regarding it's upcoming release Rock Band. EA made an expected track announcement, so far we're getting "Gimme Shelter" by the Rolling Stones, "Highway Star" by Deep Purple, "Should I Stay or Should I Go" by The Clash, "Epic" by Faith No More, "Cherub Rock" by Smashing Pumpkins, "Creep" by Radiohead, "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys, "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" by Jet, "Here It Goes Again" by OK Go, and "The Hand That Feeds" by Nine Inch Nails.
So far so good.
However, the really interesting announcements regarding Rockband are that EA will be releasing a European version with localized content and that they will be releasing a European version for the PS2. No word yet on whether or not a North American PS2 release is planned, although unfortunately I'd expect not. So far I've been unable to find a tracklisting for the European release but I'm hoping against hope that somehow EA will be on the ball enough to put a Lordi track on there, at which point the weekly geek crew will rock out like the Finnish Monster Gods we were always meant to be.
