Although Rolando may look familiar to anyone who fell in love with a certain yellow blob named Locco Rocco, this spunky platformer is actually an original title from developer Hand Circus. After the Rolando’s kingdom is invaded by a great darkness, it’s up to you to guide them 4 worlds and 36 levels where you’ll have to tap, tilt and touch [the holy trinity of touch t's] you’re way to freedom. I’m looking to forward to rolling around with the Rolandos this holiday season when the game is released.

The creative art style is courtesy of illustrator Miko Walamies, who has done some really great playful and imaginative work. At a time whe the AppStore is overflowing with crap the team over at ngmoco:) is really kicking ass with the fun titles like this and the previously released Topple and Mazefinger.

Rock Band 2 Shows off it’s FOO!

Harmonix debuted a new gameplay trailer for Rock Band 2 this weekend and while it doesn’t show any advancements over the original Rock opus, it does give rock-wannabes a good look at how awesome ‘Everlong’ is going to be.

I’m not expecting to be blown away by RB2, but there are a few things that I’d love to see in the sequel:

The songs of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

Although the career mode of Guitar Hero II only featured 48 songs, the ability to purchase extra tracks through the in-game store as well as online through the Xbox Live Marketplace bumped up the final track list to nearly 100 tunes. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock will be no different as there are 63 songs already confirmed for the game with Neversoft promising even more tracks for download on XBLM.

Interestingly enough, Billboard recently announced that a soundtrack will be released on October 30th, 2007 that will not only feature tracks from the game [including a GHIII intro written by Slash], but will also include a code to download three exclusive songs for us in the game: AFI’s “Carcinogen Crush,” Flyleaf’s “Tina” and Marilyn Manson’s “Putting Holes in Happiness” remixed by Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. IGN is reporting that the CD should retail for approximately $13.
