In this next week, there are going to be four new tracks coming from the popular artist whom everybody loves, Lady Gaga. These four new tracks are going to be available for either Rock Band or Rock Band 2. The four tracks include Bad Romance, Just Dance, Poker Face and Monster. If you want to purchase all four of these songs together then you can get it as a track pack for $6.99. To individually purchase the songs, it will cost $1.99 per song. These songs will be on sale starting next Tuesday for the Xbox 360 and next Thursday for the PlayStation 3.

With hardly any other details, all that is known about Rock Band 3 is that it will be released some time by the holiday season of this year.

“Viacom CEO and president Philippe Dauman has confirmed that Harmonix is working on Rock Band 3, for release holiday 2010!” said John Drake, the communications manager at Harmonix.

“I think they’re missing the point. I think that they don’t understand why it’s a phenomenon. From my perspective, anything that gets kids interested in music and gets kids playing music in their house that isn’t an MP3 they stole off the internet, is a good thing. Anything that’s making money for music and making music relevant to kids again is a good thing. I think they think that we prefer people playing plastic guitars over real guitars, and that couldn’t be farther from the truth. We would love nothing more than for every kid that buys Beatles: Rock Band in September to immediately ask for a real guitar for Christmas because they’re inspired.”

In my opinion, I believe that these types of games are a  good experience for younger kids who are thinking about maybe playing an instrument later on in their life. These games also provide a interesting and unique way of playing an instrument for kids.
