Sony has decided to release an episode of Qore, it’s “interactive gaming lifestyle program” (it’s an interactive magazine) for free!  It’s pretty interesting, with some content on Skate 2, Bionic Commando, Flock!, and Damnation, as well as a little documentary/plug for Sony in New Orleans and a minigame named “Blast Qore” that’s a combination between Asteroids and Super Stardust HD.  It also includes a free Killzone 2 theme.

It’s pretty interesting, and the price couldn’t be better.  Qore subscribers also get access to a demo of the upcoming PSN title “Flock!”.

Now while that may make many people happy, there is one thing that made me very, very angry.

Nickelodeon has invaded Rock Band.  Not only did they release a Miranda Cosgrove song for free, they actually expect people to want to pay for *gag* Naked Brothers Band songs! *cringes*  I, of course, will not actually waste my money on the latter, I did download the former (hey, it’s free, and another GS).

Two words.  This sucks.  Not only does the song have literally a copy-and-pasted drum beat from beginning to end, the song is literally PAINFUL to my ears.  And it’s easy.  How easy?  Gold star, full combo, first try, sound all the way down.  I started with the sound up, but then my ears bled after about ten seconds, and I turned it down and restarted.

So, yes, it may be free, but no, it’s is NOT worth the 28 MB of hard drive space.  Not by a long shot.
