Nirvana is overrated. There, I said it. I'm sick of Kurt Cobain being deified. Sure Nirvana was a good band, but just like any other group that has one of their members croak at a young age their musical influence has been overstated. Go ahead, send your hate emails. I could care less because I'll be getting it worse at home. My son will be busting my chops all week, he's a huge Nirvana fanboy.
Now how about The Eagles? There's a band deserving some love, and later this month they'll get just a little bit, in the form of having some songs available for download on Guitar Hero World Tour. "Life in the Fast Lane" and "One of These Nights" will be joining "Frail Grasp on the Big Picture", a song from their soon to be released new album.
Of course a GH:World Tour DLC press release wouldn't be complete without some new Nirvana (Cobain is the white Tupac, he's released more music after he died than when he was alive), so expect to see that later this month along with some Smashing Pumpkins and a free Christmas reggae track pack.
Hit the jump for all the details.

Do you often dream about playing a sci-fi shooter that reminds you of what games use to be? Well, Planet Smash has the cure for that itch in more ways than one. Difficulty, weapons, tons of enemies and multiple power ups are what's in store for you during your space siege. The aliens are trying to take over and it's up to you of course to stop them. Armed with your ship and a butt load of guts you venture out into space to take out this alien menace.
Space Invaders is one of those classic games that never seems to get old. When I hit the greatest arcade in the planet at Weirs Beach, it was the one cabinet that I just couldn't stop going to. Three weeks ago gamers were able to download the original Space Invaders arcade classic to their Wii's. Today, you can try out the newest version, Space Invaders Get Even (500 Wii Points). Wii owners can also pick up Pit Crew Panic (800 points) and Metal Slug 2 (900 points).
And for 360 gamers? You get Banjo Kazooie (1200MS points)! Yeah, I know. I said it was coming out last week. Ooops. Hit the jump for all the details.
Think you're good at Tetris Party? Like winning free Wii Points? Then the Tetris Party Tournament, which starts tomorrow and runs through January 31, is for you. The good news is, it doesn't even seem that hard. All you have to do is finish in the top 500. Should be a piece of cake. Hit the jump for all the details.
If Tetris Party isn't your thing, maybe a free download code for "A Kingdom for Keflings" on XBLA is more your style. That's right, GPArcade is giving away yet another freebie. Look for a post on it later this week.
After reading yesterday's awesome guide for XBOX 360 and PC aren't you wondering what to download on your mobile device? What about DLC to make your favorite game even better? You've come to the right place with information about some of the best content available, including lots of free options.
You've already seen GamePro's Holiday Gift Guide, but what if you're on a budget and still want to get something for your gamer? A point card would do the trick to be sure, but what good is it unless you know what to buy. With so much downloadable content available, it can be tough to decide what to recommend to a gamer who enjoys downloadable games. That's where GamePro Arcade comes in.
Over the next three days, GPArcade is going to guide you to the downloadable games you shouldn't miss. Every platform with arcade content - the Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, PC and mobile phones - is included. Today, we tackle the best DLC the PC and XBLA has to offer.
The original Banjo Kazooie and Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (say that 3 times fast) on XBLA are the highlights of this week's downloadable games, but don't you dare forget about Boogerman: A Pick and Flick Adventure, available today for the Wii. I have no idea what this game is, but the name certainly got my attention.
But wait, there's more! Microsoft also announced today that Fable II DLC is coming our way December 12. The DLC will offer up some new adventures in a new locale, Knothole Island, for 800MS points. There's a few other goodies but their was nothing in the press release about new ways to bump up your Gamerscore. Sorry Achievement Point whores.
Hit the jump for all the fine print.
