I’ve been getting some e-mails and IMs about music games, especially way back when I did my review for Guitar Hero: Van Halen, about which series I prefer and which instruments. Another common question is the best price to get for them. With Rock Band 3and Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock coming soon that means new instruments coming out and the older ones getting cheaper. I will say this, retail stores seem to be major rip-offs for the most part so check eBay or Amazon for some good deals on new and used. I have provided some links below. My instrument preference? I prefer the Guitar Hero guitars and the Rock Band drums (as long as there are the cymbols added on), although I do like having the Guitar Hero drums for GH games and they are growing on me. Also below is a nice deal on the Band Hero Super Bundle ($100 for the game, mic, guitar, and drums. Can’t be beat and the songs can be exported into GH5). To those that contacted me, was this enough info or would you like something more in depth?

SingStar doesn’t seem to get a lot of love on other sites so I figured I’d post a little info that may help some people out. SingStar has finally received the 4.4 update that was supposed to be released back in June. It adds Online Battles to play online against friends, Vibrato detection, and the best feature (in my opinion) is the addition of creating SingStar Remote playlists via the PSP. The Community updates are listed after the break.
While many of you may not have heard of the game being reviewed this week, you have most definitely heard of the developers. Harmonix are the creators of Guitar Hero and now work on the successful Rock Band franchise, but their start in video games was a little known (at least as far as sales are concerned) PS2 game called Frequency.
