Rebecca Mayes – reviewing games through song
I wouldn’t have thought it possible, but Game People‘s Rebecca Mayes proves it is not only possible to review a game in a song, but also to have that song be incredibly awesome. She plays a game, and instead of the typical review highlight the good and bad points, writes up a song about the game. She then posts the song to Game People, along with the lyrics. You can even download the track for free, if you enjoyed it.
Mayes’ most recent song review is “Hello Kitty,” a review of Hello Kitty: Big City Dreams for the DS. It’s the first review to actually have a few paragraphs discussing the mini-games before getting straight to the lyrics. And I can’t stop listening to it. Moving on, Mayes previously reviewed Hotel Dusk (“The Infuriating and Alluring Case of Mr. Kyle Hyde”), Okami (“I’m a Wolf”) and Wii Sports (“Press A”). The next review hasn’t been announced yet, but her index page reveals…
The Killers to debut in Rock Band’s Music Store
While I am fully aware that Rock Band and Guitar Hero are each separate games, the music selections that each title offers make me wonder whether or not they should just cease the competition and join forces to release a singular musical instrument-based game.
Yesterday, Activision announced that The Killers would be releasing their musical wares onto Guitar Hero World Tour’s musical store as downloadable content on Tuesday, November 25, 2008. Not content to be left out of this party, MTV made it known that Rock Band would be receiving music from this group as well, on the very same day.

We Cheer song list revealed
Ok, so there are games for cooking, having babies and losing weight – so its only natural that a cheer leading game should make its way to the Wii. Actually, I’m surprised it hasn’t happened sooner – at least cheer leading does have a real rhythm/competition aspect that lends itself to more traditional gameplay than say, teaching children. But I digress – Namco-Bandai has just released the full track list for its upcoming cheer leading game We Cheer, set to drop on the Wii on September 30, 2008.
The set list is none too shabby, featuring bouncy tracks from famous artists like KC & The Sunshine Band, Moby and C+C Music Factory. Good stuff, really, even if you’d never want your friends to see you hopping and bopping to it. The gameplay sounds like a mix of traditional rhythm/action style hijinks and choreography, with multiplayer modes and fully customizable cheerleaders for maximum perky fun.

Rock on with the Guitar Hero World Tour tracks

The official Guitar Hero World Tour songs listed in the press release are as follows…
Video games shifting toward music-focused media
Where TV killed the radio star, video games are helping to revive them. With the success of Rock Band and Guitar Hero, it is fairly interesting to look at the effect these games are having on the credibility of the gaming industry as an intrinsic part of the entertainment industry. An example of this the planned September 2008 re-emergence of the band Guns N’ Roses through releasing a new song in Rock Band 2, one prospectively from fabled and constantly delayed album Chinese Democracy that fans have been anticipating for more than a decade.
It has taken a while for the game industry to be…
