You had me at "Holiday in Cambodia."

 

[SatansBestBuddy]

You had me with Miss Murder.

And I feel inclined to point out that Harmonix is working on Rock Band right now, it's Neversoft that's doing Guitar Hero III.

Which I think is a good thing, since they've done pretty much nothing but Tony Hawk games for about 9 years now, and the series is still fresh and enjoyable, maybe not with every release, but most of them are pretty good games, which is something very few other series can boast.

Aside from Holiday in Cambodia, does it strike anyone else that they're just padding the list now, rather than actually seeking out quality songs that will serve the game? The list of previously announced tracks is pretty awesome but these new tracks really leave me cold.
