From the article: "Today at 5pm EST, Harmonix (HMX) had their 1st Annual Holiday Livestreamaganza for Childs Play Charity. They had DLC code giveaways, horrible, vomit inducing Christmas sweaters, answers for questions, announcements for their games Rock Band (RB), Dance Central (DC), and VidRhythm, and fun times all around! Whats that? You couldnt make it? Well thank goodness Im here to fill you in!"
A few years back, Rock Band exploded in North America. In Europe. In Australia. It didn't in Japan. There must be a reason for that.

<br /> There is. The game was never released in Japan. There must be a reason for that. There areseveral.

The musical rhythm genre lived a rock star’s life. It rocketed to success, got drunk with power, had a few popular albums, and then sold out. An overabundance of releases and a lack of innovation killed the genre, forcing Rock Band to dance for money at the local dive bar. But now, with the help of peripheral-maker Mad Catz, the band is getting another shot at the big time...
OMG that's a lot of DLC. Harmonix announced that on July 26th, Rock Band's stable of tracks will break the 3,000 barrier. Here's a list of amazing Rock Band statistics to go along with it.
XMNR: The Xbox LIVE Deal of the Week is running with a heat theme for the week of July 5, 2011 and includes discounts on games such as Torchlight and Stacking and DLC packs for Medal of Honor, Dante's Inferno and Rock Band.
The London Film and Comic Con (LFCC) will be taking place at Earls Court from the 8th to the 10th of July 2011 and details have been revealed that suggest that videogaming will play a large part in the event along with cosplay, j-culture, anime, manga, sci-fi, fantasy and movies.
Earlier this week, Billy Joel revisited the Rock Band platform with a six-song Challenge Pack. As we are about to move onto the next week, Harmonix has revealed a bundle full of classic rock acoustics from the late 60s and early 70s blended with power metal tunes. The Rock Band Music Store will get its set of downloads as the three-track Days of Peace Pack and DragonForce stride into the library.
The outfit behind Rock Band wont let go of what put food in their mouths and golden toilet paper in their bathrooms. Harmonix still believes in the music gaming genre and will continue to pump cash into the franchise, because another Rock Band Beatles tittle is what we really need.
XMNR: Activision somewhat surprisingly announced that they were pulling the plug on the Guitar Hero franchise yesterday. Now Harmonix, the original creators of Guitar Hero, have commented on the end of the franchise as well as the future for Rock Band.
News time guys! Sit forward and envelop yourself in delicious news. Feeling good? Well so were HotHead on Twitter earlier this week, until the Penny Arcade guys rained all over their parade. Joel from That Gamer Hub
