Queen's unleashing a great 10-track pack for Rock Band next week and that means I have to add more points into my MS points queue. 10 of their greatest hits will be available and they are as follows:

• Another One Bites the Dust
• Crazy Little Thing Called Love
• Fat Bottomed Girls
• I Want It All
• I Want to Break Free
• Killer Queen
• One Vision
• Somebody to Love
• Tie Your Mother Down
• Under Pressure

Cool, that means I don't have to pick up Guitar Hero 5 for Under Pressure. I love that song so I'm happy to see that and the others make it out next week.

Rock Band Unplugged will get a Blink-182 and The Offspring song for their game next week. They are:

• The Rock Show - Blink-182
