The Rivalry Continues... Again

Guitar Hero and Rock Band are still in deep competition with each other - but the release of Rock Band: Unplugged for the PSP might give the latter an advantage.

Already released to mostly positive reviews (find one here), Guitar Hero's hold on the handheld market might be slipping. The handheld version of Rock Band requires no peripherals to play - a major boost over Guitar Hero's "On Tour" games.

Check back for more information on this heated rivalry.

The Rivalry Continues

When Rock Band was released, it was in direct competition with the previous hit franchise, Guitar Hero. And while Guitar Hero may have more games (including a handheld version), Rock Band is looking to finally trump it's rival.

TT Games and Harmonix have recently announced a temporary partnership in order to produce the latest game in the Rock Band franchise: Lego Rock Band (tentative title).

Although the idea seems ridiculous at first, the Lego versions of classic movies, such as Star Wars and Indiana Jones, were all quite popular, and well-reviewed by critics. So it's not far-fetched that other companies are looking to get their franchise "converted" to Lego form now.

Hopefully, in the future, we will see more of our favorite franchises transformed into this odd new form.
