The REAL Rock Band 2 tracklist revealed (Rock Band 2)

Cancel your weekend plans from this October until May 2009 – the tracklist for Rock Band 2 has been released, and it’s huge. This is the real tracklist, not some internet fakery, and it comes straight from the source.

Not only that, but you’ll be able to import the songs (both the downloaded tunes and the stuff that came on the actual disc) from the first Rock Band directly into RB2, so you’ll be able to play something like 500 songs rught out of the box. So even without the inevitable new downloadable content, you’re going to be busy for quite awhile. Check it out:

Raving Rabbids does ‘tennis girl’ (Rayman Raving Rabbids 2)

Rafael Nadal’s savaging of sole Brit Wimbledon hope Andy Murray may have disappointed the UK tennis fans somewhat (come on, we all knew it was going to happen) but we’ve still got a weekend of racquet sports to look forward to. Ie. the inevitable Federer/Nadal face-off that we witnessed a year ago.

And that’s the only Wimbledon-related preamble you’re going to get out of us – if you want sports punditry go and look at the BBC website. You’re here because GamesRadar has been given first dibs on an admittedly amusing render made specially to cash in on the 100% increase in interest in tennis activity around Wimbledon fortnight. It’s a rabbit scratching her arse. To be honest we preferred the original better but we can’t use it here as it’s the most copyrighted image on the Internet. Make do with the bunny and click her cheeks for a closer look.

Nintendo Power turns 20! (Wii)

We’ve seen a lot of gaming magazines rise and fall the past few years, considerably more if you go all the way back to the industry’s heyday in the ’80s. The way the magazine market is today, it’s a major accomplishment when one makes it to 100 issues. Consider then, the milestone that is the 20th anniversary issue of Nintendo Power – 20 years of uninterrupted information straight from the pros at Nintendo.

This issue is special for several reasons, the most relevant to our cause being its further information on Mega Man 9, a brand new title that we and sister mag NP got to reveal this week. The cover itself is for Sega’s upcoming bloodfest MadWorld.
