Rock Band or World Tour, Rock Band or World Tour… It’s an arms race for my purchase except using weapons it’s artists. Rock band 2 And Guitar Hero: World Tour are loading up in attempt to sell their new rhythm ensemble games with a can’t-lost line up that will be ensure a good purchase no matter what game you choose. ShackNews reports Tool and Sting to the addition to RB: World Tour. Sting, not a stranger to either franchise, reappears with Demolition Man. And rock fan gamers can wail to the highly anticipated realization of TOOL rocking your faces off with Schism, Parabola and Vicarious. Jam sessions appearing from assorted albums across their discography.

James, Lars and Co. are going to release their new album Death Magnetic simultaneously in record stores and as downloadable content in Guitar Hero 3. The album will later be available for Guitar Hero: World Tour. Word on the street they may have an Unforgiven 3. You can’t release an Unforgiven and have it not be a classic. (And since St. Anger was a throwaway album that Metallica needs to redeem themselves for anyway.)
