Rock Band screens debut

Are you ready to rock... without Guitar Hero? The first images of thrash-metal-contender Rock Band have finally strutted out on stage and all we can say is "damn that still looks a lot like Guitar Hero." Similar visual stylings aside, Rock Band hopes to one-up its predecessor in every conceivable way, offering different music tracks for drums, vocals, bass and lead guitar, plus the ability to play online with three other rock wannabees.
