SlashGear Week in Review

, Apr 27th 2008 Discuss [1]

It’s been a week of ultraportables, frankly, with enough budget laptops vying for the Eee’s crown to make the whole market more than a little confusing.  Medion announced their Akoya E1210 while 3K unveiled their own alternative; meanwhile, MSI finally released some decent photos of the Wind.  Thankfully there’s now a comprehensive list of all the options available, meaning attention has turned from cataloguing to pondering whether Palm will join the fray with a re-worked version of the Foleo companion.  Stranger things (like the first Foleo, you could say) have happened.

The Gaming Guitar Stand – for when you’re not rocking out

, Apr 23rd 2008 Discuss [6]

Anyone who has gotten addicted from the very first Guitar Hero game has likely gone on to buy the 2nd the 3rd and then if you had the cash, Rock Band too. Many of us have found our own solutions to storing the massive amount of controllers that come with all of the games. For some that means just leaning them against the wall or having one or two strewn about the floor yet some of us are making a bit of an attempt to appear like full grown adults and try to hide store them in a slightly more attractive way.

Rumor – Guitar Hero IV to include more than just guitars

, Apr 22nd 2008 Discuss [1]

When Rock Band was announced last year, the first thing that drew everyone in was the fact that not only could you rock out to your favorite tunes with a guitar, but you'd also have drums and a mic as well. According to a recent interview with Activision CEO Bobby Kotick, they are planning to do the same thing for Guitar Hero IV. Read The Full Story

Def Leppard to debut a new single as DLC for Guitar Hero III

, Apr 11th 2008 Discuss [0]

It has become apparent that rhythm games such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band are taking over as the best way for bands to reach new listeners with their music. We already know that between those two franchises, more music sold than through legal downloading, so it's no surprise that a major band will be releasing a single on Guitar Hero before it can be purchased through any other medium.

Charlie Daniels does not approve of Guitar Hero’s portrayal of his music

, Apr 8th 2008 Discuss [1]

When I first heard The Devil Went Down to Georgia for Guitar Hero III, I was quite surprised. The song sounded almost nothing like the original Charlie Danials version which I'd grown up hearing. (Living in the Midwest you hear this song at every single high school dance, no joke) The new version grew on me, and I began to enjoy it, however, one person that's never going to like it is Charlie Daniels.

Activision settles lawsuit for Wii version of Guitar Hero III

, Apr 8th 2008 Discuss [0]

If you'll all remember, Activision released the Wii version of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock with a minor flaw. Well, releasing a game that depends greatly on audio with only the ability to output in mono is more than a small flaw, but they've made up for it, so who's counting? Anywho, there was a class action lawsuit regarding this matter, and it has finally been settled. A gentleman by the name of Samuel Livingston filed the suit seeking "actual damages, individual restitution, equitable relief, civil penalties, costs and expenses of litigation, including attorney's fees, and all further relief available." I don't think the suit went exactly as he planned. Read The Full Story

Colorware tackles Guitar Hero controllers

, Apr 2nd 2008 Discuss [0]

Alright it's official, Colorware has to stop releasing new things that they can customize. The last time they announced that they were releasing the DS Lite I spent an hour on their site drooling over the possibilities. This time, I kept it at around a half an hour, so maybe I'm getting better at this. Read The Full Story

Hotels offer Guitar Hero and Rock Band to entertain you

, Apr 2nd 2008 Discuss [0]

It's news like this that makes me think that I've been staying at the wrong hotels when I travel. I don't stay in the slums or anything, but I've also never been to a hotel that has offered Guitar Hero as a form of entertainment. Read The Full Story
