Lauren Faccidomo for Rock Revolution

Rock Revolution's presence during Konami's press conference only served to suck the life out of a room already filled with barely conscious and thoroughly unamused vegetables. Not only did the game's rendition of "Blitzkrieg Bop" pale in comparison to that of the real live band which played just moments before, it also kicked Lauren and her drumming partner to the rhythm-less curb. And that was the end of the show. Talk about ending on a downer.

If anything, we think this speaks of Konami's development approach to its late-to-the-party rock game. Do half as much half as well, twice as late and twice as difficult as anybody else.
