Air Guitaring just got a whole lot more exciting
By Ian Sands
There's a lot of hatred being directed toward the new Guitar Hero Air Guitar Rocker, a device from Jada Toys (available in March) which allows its operator to air guitar "out loud," if you will. Most of it seems to be coming from outraged Guitar Hero fans, who apparently find the idea ridiculous, even reprehensible, thinking it will somehow dilute the brand.

Talking Rock Band with Harmonix's Sean Baptiste
By Ryan Stewart

Last Friday, the Phoenix visited the Central Square offices of Harmonix, the video game development house behind the first two Guitar Hero products, and, with help from their new parent company, MTV, the upcoming, hotly-anticipated Rock Band, which, as you may have heard, takes Guitar Hero's authentic musical simulator feel and stretches that to accommodate a drummer and vocalist.

Start your wallets: Xbox 360 price drops
By Ryan Stewart

Microsoft officially announced what we've been expecting all along: the 360 will be getting a $50 price cut across the board on all models starting tomorrow. The standard model will now check in at $349 with the "elite" model setting you back $449.

Makes sense that Microsoft would do this now: there are some amazing-looking games coming in the next few weeks and months, including Halo 3, Rock Band, Bio Shock, Blue Dragon, Assassin's Creed, Guitar Hero 3, Mass Effect, Jericho, Lost Odyssey, Half-Life 2: The Orange Box

UPDATE: Nirvana's Nevermind to be a full-album download in Harmonix's Rock Band
By Ryan Stewart

We keep thinking we couldn't possibly be more excited about Harmonix's Rock Band (see previous entries here and here), but each time we learn more about the game, we find a way to geek out even more. Today's news: Nirvana's Nevermind joins Who's Next as downloadable content in the game. Okay, so maybe you aren't so hot on playing "Polly" or "Something in the Way," but you'd be nuts to deny the opportunity for potential awesomeness this presents, especially to those of us who were in middle school in the early 90s.

More E3: Nintendo and Sony press conferences, Metal Gear Solid 4, more Rock Band and Guitar Hero 3
By Ryan Stewart

Why?

Quick and dirty analysis, based on reporting from the scene here, here, and here: Microsoft didn't really tell us anything we didn't already know, Sony impressed by actually revealing new info, and Nintendo basically took a huge shit on everyone's head.

Well, maybe the last one isn't entirely accurate.
