Has it really been a month since PAX East has been over?! Wow… I’m really dragging my feet on a few things, aren’t I? I still need to upload the Harmonix Reverse Q&A panel video I shot, as well as post the responses to the questions you guy submitted. Well to make amends, I’ve got a few small giveaways in the works, starting with this one.

HUGE thanks to @HMXThrasher for hooking me up with a few Rock Band track packs for the Nintendo Wii while I was out at PAX East!!! (Spoiler: That means more Wii track pack giveaways are coming!)

If you’re interested in picking up a copy of prize shown above, follow the rules to enter below and you’ll be entered to win a copy of “Track Pack Volume 1″ for the Nintendo Wii.

1. To enter, simply post your favorite Rock Band 3 or RB3-era DLC song in the comments, but read on…
2. ONE entry per household. Each comment is one entry, so please don’t respond to other people’s comments, because when I do a data dump from the comments, it looks like you’ve tried to enter twice, and your entries become invalid. Also, if for some reason you’re not sure your comment “went through,” instead of entering it again to make sure, wait a few minutes and refresh the comments to check.
3. I will shop worldwide for this contest, so feel free to enter from where ever you are, provided you play on the Wii.
4. I will select one winner randomly from the entries tomorrow (4/14) after 10:00 am CENTRAL time.

Good luck!

While this is not exactly Rock Band related, I know that we have a lot of creative, talented and geeky people that frequent this site. So, I wanted to pass along some information about a new contest for vocalists and aspiring singers. Square Enix is on the hunt for a featured vocalist for the title track of Gun Loco, which is a third-person sprinting shooter scheduled for release sometime in 2011 on the Xbox 360.

In order to enter and receive additional details regarding the contest, you will have to become a member on the Square Enix site.

The contest is supposed to run from September 9 to October 4. During that time you can download a mp3 for the song along with the lyric sheet, record your entry in either audio and/or video format, and then save your submission to the site. The best part about this contest is that according to the media advisory, people are encouraged to creatively interpret the song! I know we have a lot of people that would be awesome for this so don’t be shy and give the contest a try.

This game looks completely ridiculous! Let us know if you submit something and feel free to link it in the comments section. Good luck!

UPDATE: The contest will stop taking submissions on September 10, 2010!

Hey guys and girls, the members of the Creator’s website are always trying to come up with ways to interest others to join the team. One of the most in demand positions on the site is the playtester. We never seem to have enough testers, so this competition is going to open the doors to give everyone an opportunity to experience playtesting and join the community.

The Contest:

The contest is simple; just watch the videos of a sample song (see below) and perform a playtest just like you would on the Creators site. The difference of course being that in a real playtest you would be able to actually play the game, but this is the closest we can do for now.

Check out the full details after the break.
