You'd never guess it, but I love a good head-banging song; you know, something like "Back in Black" by AC/DC would definitely do the trick. Well this November, I'll really get to rock out since the AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack video game will be hitting store shelves. The game is playable with
any compatible music instrument controller, and players who have Rock Band can import their tracks into this game.

I'm not overly familiar with this female duo, but popular to to the tween generations, teen pop band Aly and AJ, will be coming out with their own guitars for games like
Guitar Hero and Rock Band for the Wii and PS2 in a few weeks. Each guitar will cost a cool $70, and fans will be able to choose from Aly's Guitar, which will feature a heart and cross bone print in a pink and brown color, or AJ's pink Guitar that features a purple zebra print and is in the shape of a heart. Performance Designed Products, the makers of the guitars, will create one of the guitars specifically for tweens, ages 8 to 12 while the other will be targeted for teens and older.

How awesome is this? A company called Kinetic Communications has created a mod for Rock Band so that
people in wheelchairs can play.
Previously, the wheelchair-bound couldn't rock out because the game's kickpedal couldn't be disabled, but Kinetic's hack, which was created for one of their disabled clients who wanted to play, allows you to unplug it and bypass the kickpedal function.

Over the weekend I got a chance to plug in my coveted guitar, set up the drum kit, and wail on the mic during an intense
Rock Band set. My pals and me were up far too late for my age (four in the morning!), but were having a blast nonetheless. With a quick systems update, I had my first taste of the in-game Rock Band store, which I have to say, rocks!
