PlayStation LifeStyle writes, "This week, after numerous delays, Trine finally makes it to the North American PlayStation Store. If you didn't buy Critter Crunch (shame on you!) then make sure to try the demo releasing this week. With the Halloween theme going on right now in the PS Store, we hope to see Burn Zombie Burn 2D! and possibly the long rumored Resident Evil 2 PSOne Classic. PSP owners should be on the lookout for Half Minute Hero, and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars."

BeefJack - Music DLC Roundup - 17/10

PS3 - Rock Band 2 - BeefJack - Music DLC Roundup - 17/10

BeefJack writes: "Slim pickings this week… well that is unless you're a Queen fan. I don't know why Harmonix do this, but some weeks you're screwed for choice, Pearl Jam for example seem to get entire weeks worth of DLC deadicated to them, leaving anyone who isn't a massive fan, out in the cold, but then again there was a lot of NIN at the start. Anyway Queen need no introduction, and to be honest it'd be silly for me to pick a song, although Under Pressure may just nab it, simply because it has David Bowie in it. What's better than one classic band? A classic band and David Bowie that's what, now then when are getting I'm Affarid Of Americans?"

BeefJack writes: "Tenacious D are one of those bands that no matter what they put out on these games, something is going to end up as a recommendation. No matter who you are, what you're into, what you think of Jack Black, Tenacious D are an undeniably awesome band on quite a few levels. The Metal is a demonstration of the duo hitting things as hard as they can, and when they bang, they bang."

PS3 - Rock Band 2 - Flight of the Conchords Track Pack Coming to Rock Band

Crazy Kiwi due Flight of the Conchords missed out on an Emmy for their now cancelled TV series yesterday, but did take time out on the red carpet to reveal that a 3 track pack from Brett & Jermaine will be headed to Rock Band at some point in the future.

When asked the guys did not know which songs would be included, but as their new album 'I Told You I Was Freaky' is due at the end of October it'd be a safe bet that at least one of those tracks will make it into the pack

PS3 News from N4G | Rock Band 2

PS3 - Rock Band 2 - ION Drum Rocker Core now available for $199.99

The ION Drum Rocker was released around the time Rock Band 2 came out and provided an alternative method of playing Rock Band with a set of very sturdy and durable drum pads. However, the cost of $299.99 may have been cost-prohibitive to some gamers.

Well, there is now another option. ION Audio has announced that you may buy a drum pad set without the cymbals, called the ION Drum Rocker Core. The set is now available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and soon for the Wii. This set is priced at $199.99 ($100 less than the ION Drum Rocker) and features the same great features of the original Drum Rocker, except without the cymbals. As an option, you can later upgrade it with the ION Drum Rocker 3-Cymbal Kit,which you can purchase for $129.99.
