He may have been better off avoiding the specialized Area 5 event altogether. Rock Band iPhone just got released. The Tap Tap games have graced the platform since the beginning and there's even a Guitar Hero clone, Guitar Rock 2, now in it's second iteration.

Game. and RebelFM comes by to share his thoughts with JayFresh, Matt, and Cesar.
