Rock Band boils over the 2,000 song mark with Hendrix

,

 

How ironic it is that Jimi Hendrix, who was once considered exclusive to Guitar Hero when his likeness appeared in Guitar Hero World Tour, is the artist that Harmonix chose to push their legendary library over the 2,000 song milestone.

Not only is Harmonix using Hendrix, but they are using arguably his most iconic album, Are You Experienced? With Axis: Bold as Love, which features Hendrix's huge tracks like "If 6 was 9" and "Little Wing", already available, it's only necessary to have Are You Experienced? round out the library with "Purple Haze", "Hey Joe" and "Foxey Lady". Rockers can also play along to a live version of "Fire", which had its studio version available in Lego: Rock Band.

Check out the full listing after the break and get ready to rock when this hits the online marketplaces on Tuesday!

Full Tracklist for Are You Experienced: Rock Band Edition
$19.99 for the album; $1.99 per individual song
"Purple Haze"
"Manic Depression"
"Hey Joe (Live)"
"Love or Confusion"
"May This Be Love"
"The Wind Cries Mary"
"Fire (Live)"
"3rd Stone from the Sun"
"Foxey Lady"
"Are You Experienced?"
"Stone Free'
"Highway Chile"

 

Activision and Marvel announce X-Men: Destiny

Looks like Marvel is at it again with the X-Men franchise! After a successful X-Men game starring Wolverine, the X-Men game front sort of went silent. Today, we found out why. Turns out Activision has been working on a new, groundbreaking title in the series called "Destiny".

Not much is known about the title, but the announcement describes it as follows:

The all-new original video game casts players as new mutant recruits 
in a rich, branching storyline that features deep element of choice and 
gives players ultimate control of their destiny.

Sounds to us like we might have a nice role-playing X-Men game on our hands! Who wouldn't want to play a game like that? Especially when you throw a potential moral-choice aspect into the gameplay mechanics? Yes please!

To top it all off, attendees to the New York Comic-Con this weekend will be able to get a first glimpse of the title at the Activision booth! If you end up going, stop back here and let us know your thoughts in the comments section!
