I love Rock Band. Anybody that knows me will tell you that. Even though I've beaten every song multiple times, I can't get enough of playing it. Part of the reason is that there are always more songs to download. But I suspect that the real reason is that it makes me feel good, no matter if I'm alone or with friends. That's why I'm so excited about
Rock Band Unplugged, Harmonix's new music game for the Sony PSP. It launches on June 6th and will feature more than 40 songs to play through. And best of all, ten of those songs are timed exclusives for this PSP game. June 6 cannot get here soon enough.
This weekend
Joystiq reported what the final set list would look like, including what we can expect from the first round of downloadable content. For the most part the game features a nice mix of songs from both Rock Band 1 and 2, as well as some of the previously released DLC. This shouldn't be too big of a problem since you play this game entirely differently from that of any other Rock Band game. If you're curious about the set list, then I recommend you take a peek below and see if your favorite songs made the list.
