Shame Rock Band isn't selling too well. Hmm, wonder what this means for Trumpet Hero...

News Blips:


Rock Band no longer knocking socks off at retail, Viacom misses bare feet. Seems like the slowing sales of Rock Band are hurting parent company Viacom's profits, as revenues are down 41 percent. In other news, apartment clutter is apparently stalling. [Joystiq]

Atari glad they called Ghostbusters, Vin Diesel. For a while, Atari was losing loads of money, but with the recent releases of Ghostbusters and Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, the company has boosted profits. Guess they can hold off on the inevitable E.T. HD Remix. [GameSpot]

NBA 2K10: Draft Combine packs all the excitement of waiting with waiting. Oh, and we guess you can play some drills and 5-on-5 games, too. But the upcoming XBLA and PSN game lets you build up your ballers and then later upload them into the full NBA 2K10 game. Man, we can't wait for the sit-on-your-ass-until-your-name-gets-called minigame! [Shacknews]

Build bigger and better crap in LittleBigPlanet soon. Looks like the creation tools in Sony's cutesy user-made platformer will be expanded upon soon according to developer Media Mocule. Maybe the community can help make all the Ubisoft games that got delayed yesterday. [VG247]

What Media Mocule needs to do is add more game types and player abilities to the mix. If they would just add real guns, bases, and flags then LBP would not just be a make your own platformer, but a make your own 2D shooter with multiplayer built in. Bo Yah!!!

Rock Band sales slowing: Not exactly mind-blowing considering the last major RB (Unplugged notwithstanding) was released almost a year ago. I wonder how sales will change once The Beatles: Rock Band hits.

I hope Media Molecule releases more packs like the MGS pack. Paying 5-6 bucks for just a few costumes is a little weak.
