While GDC may have been able to keep most of us quite busy last week, we were able to add a couple more games to the Rhythm Games Track Finder. This week the Track Finder receives some updates from a pop diva, a crazy MC, as well as some of the best tracks yet for "Rock Band."
While many of you may not have gotten around to playing "Briney's Dance Beat," it was, in fact, a rhythm game that featured some of her music. With the addition of "Dance Beat" to the Track Finder, it brings Britney's rhythm game appearances to a total of nine different games. She sure does get around.
We also added in the tracks for "MC Groovz Dance Craze," a Gamecube exclusive that hit stores back in 2004. The reviews weren't that great, but it does feature one of the greatest songs ever by a rapper-turned-actor: "Parents Just Don't Understand" by the Fresh Prince. I wonder if Will Smith even knows he made an appearance in the Mad Catz game?
Nine Inch Nails make a return to "Rock Band" this week with two of their greatest songs ever recorded, and a third that's almost as good. "The Perfect Drug," which originally appeared on the "Lost Highway" movie soundtrack, may be a bit unfamiliar to those that aren’t NIN fans, but it should be completely worth the download, as it should offer some of the hardest guitar tracks yet. One other little song was announced and added for "Rock Band" last week. Some of you may have heard of it, "Still Alive" from "Portal." (That addition got it’s own little mini-update.)
The whole breakdown is below. Please let us know if you have any requests. We can try to work them into next week's Rhythm Game Track Finder update.
Britney's Dance Beat (PS2) 5 Songs Added
MC Groovz Dance Craze (Gamecube) 28 Songs Added
Rock Band - (Xbox 360, PS3) 4 Songs Added - ("March of the Pigs," "The Perfect Drug" and "The Collector" by Nine Inch Nails and "Still Alive" by Jonathan Coulton)
