Title: Rock Band 2

Developer: Harmonix

Platforms: X360, PS3, Wii, PS2

Release Dates: Sept. 15th (X360), Quarter 4 (PS3, Wii, PS2)

We all have been hearing the songs that will be available on Rock Band 2. So I decided to use this post to set the record straight. Just recently we also caught wind that for a small fee of $4.99, you’ll be able to copy all 55 songs, except Metallica “Enter Sandman”, Black Sabbath “Paranoid” and Tokio Hotel “Monsoon” from Rock Band 1 to your console in order to play them on Rock Band 2. In our podcast, I asked Carlos about the benefit and he mentioned the ability to play all your songs from one location. I’ll give him that, but to pay an additional $5 for convience annoys me.

This may surprise some of you, but we love more than just video games on Kezins. It seems everyone on the web publishes their iPod playlist, so we decided to let our readers know what music we are listening to. The first list is Will’s favorite 20 songs. We’ll be publishing lists from the other writers (possible some from other sites too) in the near future. I currently have over 12,000 songs on my iPod plus all the stacks of CDs, so it wasn’t easy figuring out what my favorites were. Nirvana and The Killers are probably my two favorite bands of all-time, but I decided to only post one song per artist. Feel free to comment on my picks or list your favorites below, but no Coldplay bashing!

International Movie Star/Model Maggie Q to star in the upcoming EA Racing Game Need For Speed Undercover.  Coming to the PS3, X360, Wii, DS, PSP and PC November 18th.

Don’t know how they do it, but the Need for Speed team keeps rolling in hot chicks to star in their video games.  The “Balls of Fury” ping pong star will be featured in EA’s Need For Speed: Undercover.  I’m a fan of Need for Speed, and their great in-game videos.  They’ve used very attractive women before, but I think Maggie Q is their biggest star.  I guess Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift motivated Maggie Q.

EA’s Need for Speed Undercover takes the franchise back to its roots and re-introduces break-neck cop chases, the world’s hottest cars and spectacular highway battles.

“Need for Speed Undercover features a deep and engaging story of spectacular Hollywood-style live-action that will transport players into the fictional world of the Tri-City Bay Area,” said Bill Harrison, Need for Speed Undercover Executive Producer. “Working with talent the caliber of Maggie Q allows us to deliver an unparalleled level of storytelling that will keep players engaged in between 180-mile-an-hour races.”

Maggie Q, who has starred in Mission Impossible III and Live Free or Die Hard, plays Federal Agent Chase Linh, a seductive handler who recruits and guides players as they go undercover. Players will take on dangerous jobs and compete in races in order to infiltrate and takedown a ruthless international crime syndicate.

“I’ve always been a fan of racing games and working on Need for Speed Undercover was an amazing experience,” said Maggie Q. “I was so impressed by the scope and quality of the overall production that goes into a videogame these days. It was like any other day on a Hollywood set; I felt right at home. The Black Box team is doing tremendous work here and I can’t wait to see the final game.”

Need for Speed Undercover is being developed by Black Box in Vancouver, B.C., and is slated to be in stores North America on November 18 and in Europe on November 21. The game will be available for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, and Wii™ as well as the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Nintendo DS™, PSP® (PlayStation® Portable) handheld entertainment system, PC and mobile.

The Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne will be making a Royal appearance in the upcoming Guitar Hero: World Tour.

SHARON!!! Looking to bite off a bat’s head?  Our man Ozzy, will be a playable character in GH:World Tour.  There will be a digital enhanced OZZFest that will be a venue in the game.  I know there’s been a bunch of classic Ozzy songs in past Guitar Hero’s including: War Pigs, Iron Man, Bark At The Moon and Paranoid.  Man, War Pigs is such a good tune to let it fly!!!

OZZFest Artists Metallica, System of a Down and Black Label Society -Featuring Zakk Wylde’s Likeness - Coming to Guitar Hero World Tour

Joining Ozzy in Guitar Hero World Tour as a playable character is his lead axe-shredder and founder of Black Label Society, Zakk Wylde, performing their hit track “Stillborn.”  Gotta say, I’m liking Guitar Hero: World Tour a tad bit more that Rock Band 2.  But if you’re having a party and want to jam out with freinds, Rock Band is just right prescription… don’t forget the cowbell, baby!

A leaked set list is almost never exactly like the final product, but it gives a pretty good idea of what to expect.  The Guitar Hero IV: World Tour set list was leaked and it doesn’t look too bad.  When Rock Band came out, I had mentioned to people that my Guitar Hero days were over.  With the additional of superior drums, it looks like GH is going to take the music game crown back in the near future.  Check out the list after the jump!

You’re probably wondering why Flavor of Love’s Candance “Black” Cabrera is dressed up as a ninja warrior. I discovered this photo in my inbox today when I received the Urban Gamer Report #27 from the Konsole Kingz. My best guess is that they have done a Ninja Gaiden style photoshoot with her and we’ll probably see an XBL theme of Candace in the near future. I’ll keep checking their blog each day to see what they have in store for us.

SCEE has announced that they have stopped production on PS3’s The Getaway (the third in the series) and Eight Days, according to GameIndustry.biz. Little was known of Eight Days besides a trailer shown at E3 2006 and only a handful of in-game screenshots of London were ever released for The Getaway.

The first Getaway and its sequel, Black Monday, were full of gameplay problems as it disposed of a functioning HUD and relied on visual cues for the gamer to determine health, ammo, etc. The gun-play was off, as well, and while nicely recreated, London was devoid of life outside of the main missions. Regardless, the story was its superior trait and those familiar with Guy Ritchie flicks (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch) got its charm.

Sadly, Flavor Of Love came to an end once again, but we’ll continue to find out more about the girls who were on the show in the next few months. Recently, Candace “Black” Cabrera sat down and played GTA IV with our friends, the Konsole Kingz. According to them, she’s an active gamer and recently finished playing Uncharted, probably my favorite PS3 game.  Check out the via link below and check out their blog.
