Battle of the Bands preview

Five years ago none of us would have dreamed of playing Guitar Hero at home. Now it's practically ubiquitous, placing bemani games firmly in the living room . While it's all very new for most of us Westerners I don't suppose multiplayer bemani games are really anything new, so Nintendo have kinda gone full circle with their new offering for the Wii Battle of the Bands, eschewing the bulky and expensive peripherals and getting back to basics using the standard wiimote.

Destructoid.com got a preview of the game.

Battle of the Bands plays out as a musical tug of war, and has two bands vying for control of a song and the right to play it in their genre of choice. The game will feature seven bands, each representing one of five distinct musical styles – rock, country, hip-hop, Latin, and marching band. Planet Moon have struck gold with this one, folks, and actually brought cover bands into the studio to record genre-bending versions of 30 recognizable songs, ranging from the Gorillaz’s “Feel Good Inc.” to The Soggy Bottom Boy’s “Man of Constant Sorrow.” Do the math, people -- that’s 150 different musical tracks

If it sounds ridiculous, it’s because it is, and the results are unsurprisingly hilarious. Tempos are matched for all of the songs, so you’ll seamlessly hear songs blend from one genre to another. You haven’t lived until you’ve heard Cypress Hill’s “Insane in the Brain” performed as a country song.

Meanwhile the on-screen avatars battle it out with rocket-launching guitars.

Sounds like a Fi Club classic if you ask me.

Choking the Wookie

An interview with Haden Black, the games project lead on Force Unleashed, complete with some in-game footage showing what has always been the best part of the Star Wars games - flinging things around with the force.

In Force Unleashed you play Vader's secret apprentice and from the footage he looks pretty handy. The clincher is you play the first level as Vader on Kashyyyk. Time to give those walking carpets what-for.

WoW: The Molten Core
