'Future of Rock Band' in position to top YouTube gaming charts

YouTube's new charts feature seems to have affected normal top ten compilation - at 1,240,291 views, "Future of Rock Band"'s vision of real instruments and 3D prompts should be at number one, though in fact that place is occupied by the 1,240,281 views of last week's first place, a proof of concept for the PS Jailbreak PlayStation 3 hack.

Freddie Wong, the filmmaker behind "Future of Rock Band," is a prize-winning Rock Band 2 player himself, and his video is joined by six new entries in the top ten for the week ending September 1, technical hiccups notwithstanding.

There's also the first half of a soccer match between Germany and France in Pro Evolution Soccer 2011, with crisp graphics, last-minute tackles, snap crosses, some desperate defending, and a couple of goals worthy of the World Cup itself.

Other videos include preview footage from the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion, Cataclysm, a 360° pan around the winged Dark Phoenix mount from the very same, and an introduction to the Urgot champion character in free-to-play League of Legends, inspired by Warcraft III.

Also to be seen is another trailer for Xbox 360 game Halo: Reach - last in the series from the Bungie development team that started it all back in 2001, and out on September 14 - as well as the guns and gunplay of November's Call of Duty: Black Ops and a TV spot for Metroid: Other M.
