So Activision sent out a Band Hero press release today and was all like, “OMG, Taylor Swift makes her videogame debut, guys!” They go on to say that, not only will she appear in the game, but so will her songs “You Belong to Me,” “Picture To Burn,” and “Love Story.”
We assume that this triple-attack of country-pop songs is as exciting to teeny-boppers as the three Tool songs that appeared in Guitar Hero: World Tour were to mopey, miserable looking dudes with long, greasy hair. Activision says Band Hero is the “the biggest music event to hit living rooms this holiday season,” and we agree with that statement… but not because of Taylor Swift (which is old news, BTW OMG).
Because, uh, STYX “Mr. Roboto” (also known around the office as “Mr. Effin’ Roboto”) has been announced as one of the game’s playable tracks. The songs joins a bunch of other just-announced tracks that aren’t “Mr. Roboto,” like some Hillary Duff song and a Kylie Minogue/Robbie Williams duet.
You can see the new tracks (along with the previously announced ones) after the jump, but… “Mr. Roboto” guys!
