Games Rock Band 2 Hits Ground Kontrol 10 Days Early
Posted by Earnest "Nex" Cavalli on Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 12:43 PM
As if booze and Pole Position weren't enough impetus to hit up Ground Kontrol on a nearly daily basis, co-owner Anthony Ramos just dropped me an email revealing that Rock Band 2 will appear in playable form at the arcade's Rock Band Tuesdays event on September 2 -- a full 10 days before the game's official release.
Lead designer Dan Teasdale is going to be on hand to "provide an all-night hands-on demo" of the game. If previous Rock Band Tuesdays are any indication, "demo" should translate to "drunk twentysomethings singing off-key Weezer tunes while you get your ass handed to you in Marvel vs Capcom 2 by a waifish indie girl."
As with all Rock Band Tuesdays the event starts at 8PM.
