Guitar Hero DLC – Dragonforce three-pack

Chris Scott Barr, Jul 25th 2008 Discuss [0]

I must say that I'm impressed by Activision. They have announced yet another track pack for Guitar Hero III. Granted, it won't be out until next month, but it's definitely good to see that they haven't given up on DLC. So what could possibly follow up the Virtuoso Pack? Apparently only a trio of Dragonforce tracks. Read The Full Story

Chris Scott Barr, Jul 25th 2008 Discuss [0]

It's tradition that with every Guitar Hero game, there are rumors regarding “leaked” setlists that will show up from all over. I do believe that we have our first such list, which of course comes from someone with absolutely no explanation as to how they came upon it. Hit the jump for the entire list. Read The Full Story

Chris Scott Barr, Jul 18th 2008 Discuss [0]

With Guitar Hero: World Tour featuring four instruments, one has to wonder just how similar the UI is going to be to that other game with four instruments. Well Activision has released a few screenshots of their upcoming title, and I must say, it does look rather familiar. Read The Full Story

Activision confirms compatibility with Rock Band instruments in Guitar Hero: World Tour

Chris Scott Barr, Jul 17th 2008 Discuss [0]

I have to admit that I've been pretty unhappy with Activision over the whole guitar incompatibility issue. Sure, I rock out on my 360 so I haven't had any issues, however, one of my best friends is more of a PS3 guy. He's only dropped the cash for a single Guitar Hero controller, however, his Rock Band Strat sits there begging to be used. Well it seems that this won't be such an issue for the next GH title.

Guitar Hero: On Tour gets a sequel this Fall

Chris Scott Barr, Jul 17th 2008 Discuss [0]

I'm all for having sequels for popular games, I really am. However, there's a point when I wonder how soon is too soon, and how many is too many. Take Guitar Hero: On Tour for example. I didn't particularly care for the game or its controller, however, the game sold rather well, which might make one think they would start putting out DS versions of their series out on a semi-regular basis. I just didn't expect them to have one geared up and ready to be released in a mere matter of months. Read The Full Story

Activision has decided to come out with a set of dolls action figures to go with their long line of games. They teamed up with McFarlane toys and made these rock stars that all seem to be sporting extremely tiny legs. Read The Full Story

Guitar Hero IV will be the same on the Wii as 360 and PS3

Chris Scott Barr, Jun 23rd 2008 Discuss [1]

It's no big secret that the Nintendo Wii isn't quite the powerhouse that the PS3 or even Xbox 360 is. For this reason we tend to see games with less content present on the Wii. Such has been the case with Guitar Hero III and even Rock Band. So we should expect nothing less from Guitar Hero World Tour, right? Read The Full Story

Guitar Hero Aerosmith sponsors NASCAR

Abby McVay, Jun 20th 2008 Discuss [2]

You may be wondering what NASCAR has to do with Guitar Hero, well to be honest, I have no idea. However, for some bizarre reason, Activision's Guitar Hero Aerosmith is sponsoring a NASCAR. My very best guess is that creepy hillbillies have a thing for Aerosmith. Read The Full Story

Metallica to star in their own Guitar Hero title

Chris Scott Barr, Jun 3rd 2008 Discuss [2]

I'm still undecided about the whole idea of focusing a Guitar Hero game around a single band. Sure, GH: Aerosmith is going to feature other great bands too, but as much as I love Aerosmith, I think I might get tired of mostly songs by the same band. Well it seems that Activision loves the idea, because it seems that they've already got another band-themed title in the works. Perhaps you've heard of a little band called Metallica?

I try to steer away from writing about the same subject twice in one day, but I watched the Guitar Hero World Tour video again for a good look at the drums, and I noticed something strange. Lets see if you can spot it in the picture below. Read The Full Story

Aerosmith signs exclusive deal with Activision

Chris Scott Barr, Apr 30th 2008 Discuss [0]

I have some very sad news for Aerosmith fans. If you enjoy rocking out to some classic Aerosmith in Rock Band, you'd better get used to Train Kept a Rollin', because that's all you're going to get. Read The Full Story
