U2 track pack out now for Rock Band 4, including hits One and Vertigo

By Danny Cowan December 22, 2015

More U2 tracks coming to Rock Band 4!

Harmonix’s Rock Band 4 gets a collection of Irish band U2’s biggest hits this week as downloadable content, including chart-topping favorites like One and Sunday Bloody Sunday.

U2’s add-on songs, priced at $2 apiece, feature playable guitar, bass, drum, and vocal charts compatible with Rock Band 4 instrument peripherals. Players can take on these songs solo or in a group with local bandmates manning each instrument.

Rock Band 4‘s “U2 Essentials 01” pack includes the following tracks:

Sunday Bloody Sunday from U2’s 1983 album War
Pride (In The Name Of Love) from 1984’s The Unforgettable Fire
Where The Streets Have No Name from 1987’s The Joshua Tree
Desire from 1988’s Rattle and Hum
One from 1992’s Achtung Baby
Vertigo, the lead track on 2004’s How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
California (There Is No End To Love) from 2014’s Songs of Innocence
The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone), also off of Songs of Innocence

Featured tracks can be purchased individually or as an 8-pack priced at $13.50. All tracks are playable across all of Rock Band 4‘s featured gameplay modes, and all include Freestyle Guitar Solo gameplay segments where applicable.

Rock Band 4 marked the first series appearance for several popular bands and artists, including Van Halen with Panama and Cake with Short Skirt/Long Jacket. Many of these artists will receive additional DLC tracks in the future; Van Halen hosted its own exclusive track pack in November, offering up popular favorites like Hot for Teacher and Runnin’ with the Devil.

Track collecting and curation play a large role in the Rock Band experience. Players can import thousands of songs purchased from previous Rock Band games and play them in Rock Band 4, and a disc import option for Rock Band 3‘s tracklist was introduced in a recent update. Disc imports for Rock Band 2, Lego Rock Band, and other legacy series entries will be available starting in 2016.

Rock Band 4 is available now for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Apple Arcade to support both Xbox One and PS4 controllers

Apple Arcade WWDC 2019 ps4 dualshock 4 xbox one gamepad support integration

Apple hosted a special livestream event at the San Jose Convention Center during the company’s annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC). During the event, Apple revealed that the upcoming game subscription service Apple Arcade will feature support for the Xbox One controller and PlayStation 4’s DualShock 4.

Google Stadia isn’t the only new gaming platform coming in 2019. Apple Arcade will be released in the fall but, unlike Stadia, it is not a cloud streaming platform. With Apple Arcade, gamers will be using a connection to download the games in full but you won’t need an active connection to play. The platform will feature exclusive games that Apple has reportedly invested more than $500 million to obtain and a subscription will get you and five other users access to those titles. You can access the Apple Arcade platform via an iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV.

All Baobab Tree locations in Tales of Kenzera

Zau fights a dragon in Tales of Kenzera: Zau.

While it wasn't marketed as being a particularly punishing game, Tales of Kenzera: Zau is by no means easy. You will have plenty of environmental challenges that can instantly sap your life, and the enemies you face -- especially the bosses -- are no slouches. When you first begin, it will only take a couple of bad hits to send Zau to the land of the dead himself. Alongside the Trinkets you can unlock through hidden challenges around the map, there are also Baobab Trees where Zau can stop to reflect on his journey thus far, have a short dialogue with Kalunga, and get a small addition to his health bar. Like everything in the game, these trees aren't prohibitively hidden, but you could easily pass one by and have no idea where it was when trying to backtrack. These are all the Baobab Tree locations so you can max out your health bar.
All Baobab Tree locations
There are six Baobab Trees to find in Tales of Kenzera: Zau and each adds a small segment of health to your total. When you collect them all, you will roughly double your HP bar. Here are each of their locations in the rough order you should naturally find them in. Most can be picked up on your first time through that area.

This one is very hard to miss as it is directly on your critical path. If you do, you can fast travel to the nearby campfire to grab it.

All Fallout games, ranked

Who would've thought the post-apocalypse could be such a fun time? The Fallout franchise has taken the idea of a Mad Max-like future and not only made it into a wildly popular game franchise but also a hit TV series. The core franchise has been around since the late '90s, and yet we've had only a handful of mainline entries in the series since it was revived by Bethesda with Fallout 3. With Starfield in the rearview mirror and the next Elder Scrolls title currently being the dev team's focus, it could be close to another decade before we can set foot in the wasteland ourselves once again. What better time, then, to look back at the franchise and rank all the games from best to worst?
