Exclusive hands-on video and gallery: Band Hero review
T3 rocks out to some... erm...Taylor Swift.
This November sees the launch of Band Hero, which is basically Guitar Hero for those non-gnarly pristine souls, who'd rather spend their Saturday nights watching X-Factor than leaving a trail of carnage at a heavy metal show.
First of all, the set list reads like it's been hijacked by Simon, Louis and Cheryl. We've got Kylie and Robbie duets, Lilly Allen and Taylor Swift headlining the shows, ousting the likes of Dragonforce and Slayer. The menu system has been overhauled, mimicking the production values of the Saturday night pop music show, but it looks great.

- Ultimate set-up: Guitar Hero
It's unsurprising really. The GH series has been dumbing down the harder element to broaden its appeal to Singstar fans since World Tour, while allowing its core rock audience to get extra kicks from games like Greatest Hits, Metallica and Aerosmith editions.
But what might encourage fans of the early games to become pop stars is the introduction of a brand new drumset. Launch the Band Hero gallery to see hands-on pics of the new features and our view on the features that make this kit a much better option than GH's first effort. There's also a new Guitar too, with some cute aesthetic changes and some handy additions to improve accuracy.
Features from the recently-released Guitar Hero 5 are also carried over into this game. Players can drop in and out of mutliplayer songs without killing the whole band, Xbox Live avatars are playable characters and groups can customise bands as they wish, with four guitarists, four drummers and four singers if that floats the boat.
Check out our exclusive video (sorry for the slight sound issues) report to your right to see the worst Taylor Swift cover in the history of the world, and be sure to check out the Band Hero gallery for a closer look at the finest GH instruments yet.

Step 1 : Sign up for a free Gift

Step 2 : Try an advertiser's offer
Basically all you need to do in this step is complete one of the offers, this is where the freebie site make their money, if you complete an offer then the freebie site will recieve commission for it. So if you complete Coral which will only cost you £5 to complete, the freebie site gets £25 from Coral. The two best offers are Lovefilm Free DVD rental (a no obligation free DVD trial) and Coral (bet £5 on a sport). I would reccommend you do Coral as it credits in an hour and is really simple to do, Lovefilm however can become complicated and takes up to 4 weeks to credit! You can also try one of the other offers, most are gambling offers. Don't skip this step! You must complete this step to get your free gift!
Step 3 : Refer some friends
This part is a lot easier than it seems, especially now with free gift sites getting so popular. There's lots of people online who want a free iPhone, Touch or macbook too, so start referring them! You only need to get a few signups before you'll be finished. You can ask your friends or your online buddies. I already got a free iPhone without even having to ask my friends for help - there's lots of people online who want a free iPhone like you! One of the easiest ways to get a referral is to do a favour for a friend and ask them to sign up in return. That way, you both can get a free gift!
