PS2 News from N4G | Rock Band
PS2 - Rock Band - PS2 Rock Band touring NA in '07 Last month at the Leipzig Games Convention, Harmonix and MTV Games' European publicist announced that Rock Band was coming to the PlayStation 2. However, no mention was made of a US release for the PS2 edition of the previously Xbox 360- and PlayStation 3-only rhythm game, which will arrive on both sides of the Atlantic later this year.

Today, though, US Harmonix reps confirmed North American PS2s will be able to jam with Rock Band. More importantly, the game will ship before the end of the year, putting it in further competition with rival Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Now, the Wii will be the sole console where the latter instrument-based rock-rhythm game is unchallenged when it ships at the end of October.

The PS2 Rock Band is a scaled-down version of its next-gen brethren, and will not have the iTunes-like functionality to download new music. It will, however, have a single-player career mode. So far, more than 10 songs have been announced for the PS2 version, including the Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter," the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage," and "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" by the Clash.

PS2 - Rock Band - Harmonix confirms Amazon Rock Band delay notices are wrong Amazon sent out notices this morning to customers that Rock Band had been delayed until late 2008. That is just plain wrong says Harmonix's PR. They have absolutely no idea how it happened, but when they asked Amazon to update their information to correct the error, Amazon then shifted all Rock Band content to 2008. Rock Band is still planned for this November with an official release date being announced "very soon"

Sept 11, 2007 The musical journey to Rock stardom will begin, we hope, before the year is out on Xbox 360 and PS3, and the latest CG trailer demonstrates just what can be achieved if you and your musical buddies practice, practice, practice. We saw glimpses of some of Rock Bands band members in the E3 trailer, but not content with having to share the limelight with gameplay clips four of them have found time to star in there own music video. Perched on top of a moving car and Rocking out to ...

Sept 5, 2007 We have an updated list of tracks that will be available for Rock Band when it releases in November. To be perfectly honest, the list has grown so much that we aren't entirely sure which songs are new to the list and which we already knew about. We do know that they have an impressive list of master tracks with only three cover versions on the list so far. Check this out, our most rockin', most updated Rock Band track list: Blue Oyster Cult "Don't Fear the Reaper" ...

PS2 - Rock Band Track Pack Volume 1 - And the beat goes on

In an effort to keep Wii and PS2 Rock Band fans happy (what with the total lack of downloadable songs), Harmonix and MTV Games have put together Rock Band Track Pack Volume 1 - an expansion to suit all your Stone Temple Pilots and Nine Inch Nails needs. The Pack goes on sale July 15 for the hefty sum of $29.99, but in exchange you get 20 songs and the vague assurance that there will be more Track Packs to come. So even if you don’t ...

PS2 News from N4G | Rogue Galaxy
PS2 - Rogue Galaxy - Rogue Galaxy gets and 10/10 from Gamerz-Edge Very rarely does a new RPG come out that really turns my head like Rogue Galaxy. It's combination of action and adventure with classic RPG elements; along with it's beautiful worlds and expansive gameplay leave me fully satisfied with this title. I cannot complain about the playing experience in the least.

You are presented with a well written story, a detailed universe, a cast of fun and engaging characters, and a quest that captivates your attention and makes you want to see what is next. This game gets my highest rating, as anything less would under serve my very high opinion of the game. If you have a Sony Playstation 2 or 3, you simply must go out and get Rogue Galaxy. In my opinion it's the best release for the Sony Playstation I've ever played.

Gameplay: 10.0/10.0
Presentation: 10.0/10.0
Value: 10.0/10.0
Fun Factor: 10.0/10.0
Final Score: 10.0

PS2 News | Rogue Galaxy
RPG fans will get another cel-shaded adventure this October, but Rogue Galaxy isn't quite the sword-and-sorcery slasher they might be expecting. You'll use swords, sure, and there's plenty of magic, but how many fantasy games send you to the stars to search for treasure with space pirates? We've already covered the major bases in our preview, but the brand-new trailer from Sony completes the picture. Just click on the Movies tab above, and you'll get a full-motion introduction to young pirate ...
