Gracing the Xbox 360 first, Rockband 2 will include at minimum, all of the songs that came with the first game (Which is around 300 tracks). Additionally, all of the Downloadable Content available for the first game will be instantly compatible with the sequel – so hold off on that delete button for the time-being.

The peripherals will also be compatible with the new title, however ‘upgraded’ versions will also be available, says Harmonix. More features to expect are improved online functionality, and an improved “party set-up”.

Alex Rigopulos, co-founder and CEO of Harmonix said:

"As successful as the original Rock Band continues to be, we've now had the benefit of the last eight months to listen to our fans' requests and to build upon that foundation."

"Rock Band 2 is a second-generation band game that will elevate the music game experience to the next level."

Despite its age and the fact that it’s reached the seventh title mark, it seems that Ignition believe there’s still a market for the ‘old-school’ Metal Slug series. Number 7 is due to continue the fast paced 2D action of its predecessors. Due out on the Nintendo DS, the SNK Playmore developed title has new missions, characters, weapons, bosses and vehicles. It’s due out this autumn, but that’s as solid a release date that was given.

It's been coming all week. Blizzard have been teasing fans with a new splash page on their website which gradually let up hints that Diablo 3 is on the way. The creators of Warcraft finally confirmed it for fans. Diablo 3 is in development and it's looking great. They teased us with a minute long trailer. They then dropped 29 high resolution screenshots on us. To cap off the announcement was an 18min demonstration of gameplay footage.

Two classes and their accompanying information can be seen on the website. The combat-heavy Barbarian is a direct contrast with the magic-centric Witch Doctor. There are five in total, but they're all that Blizzard were willing to reveal. The world map shows a decent amount of exploration space, with some brief information about Caldeum and Tristram on show. We've uploaded a shot of the world map below for your viewing pleasure.
