By ghd1379 If you are still leaning towards this Sony 32" 120hz HDTV.  I've got the same exact TV. Earlier this year.  Yes the PS3 looks great on it.  Motion Flow works great especially when watching movies.  Games not so much but I have notices a few games that it does smooth out the camera angle turnings.  P...

By Stephen Totilo After opening his article for The New Republic with a reference to how he and his fellow "smug old children of the 70s" lament the passing influence of the music of their youth, critic David Hajdu discovers a cruel twist. The music games that are so popular on consoles today bring older music...

My question is: Do gamers want to learn to play music? As a (mediocre) guitar player, lemme tell you: Playing real music is nearly infinitely more difficult than playing video game music. It's not fun to learn to play an instrument in the same way it's fun to learn a game (It's much more rewar...

The members of pop act No Doubt are suing Activision over the use of their avatars in Guitar Hero spin-off Band Hero. Their complaint is the same as Kurt Cobain's widow Courtney Love's over the appearance of the Nirvana frontman as a playable character in Guitar Hero 5 - that their likenesse...

By RawmeatCowboy Is there going to be one game in particular that comes around and saves the game music industry? Many were thinking that DJ Hero could do just that. It’s way too early in the game to know if DJ Hero will have the breakthrough power that Guitar Hero did, but one person is already claiming that DJ H...

By Owen Good The meal comes in four configurations, offers four "collector's cups" featuring NFLers rendered, interestingly, in their cartoony Madden-for-the-Wii forms. McWhertor, still nauseous from last year's unboxing of the Guitar Hero meal, assigned this to me on the pretense that as the s...

Claiming that this is the 5th Guitar Hero game is as preposterous as claiming Windows 7 is the 7th edition of Windows. We have multiple sequels to different versions, with single band spin-offs and portable versions. We are also soon to get Band Hero, DJ Hero and who knows: maybe MC Hero and Tr...

By delifte I was walking home today from somewhere and was listening to a song on my ipod and thought to myself, “man that’d be fun to play on a video game thing”.

By RawmeatCowboy Rock Band and Guitar Hero both became extremely huge franchises. Millions of gamers embraced these franchises in what seemed like an overnight success story. One day we were talking about the music genre being dead, and the next it’s making more money than the industry’s top genres.

By AJ Glasser I finished my demo with another Neversoft-created song that turned out to be a Back medley.

By ST19AG_WGreymon Before the update, these controllers would tend to be assigned by the system to slots 1 and/or 2.  Apparently, after installing the update, the system now sets the guitars and drums to controller slots 5-7 for some reason, which the game does not recognize.  As a result, the guitar or drum wo...

By Joe Haygood Finally we look at some of the news from the last week, including the horror and abomination that is Grand Theft Auto IV on the PC, as well as some companies not paying their employees, games being patched against cheating and even watching Guitar Freaks get schooled again by Guitar Hero.

Following the October 26 launch of Neversoft's Guitar Hero World Tour and its specialized drum controller, competitor Harmonix today released a patch for the PS3 version of Rock Band 2 that enables compatibility with Guitar Hero drums and guitars.

By Karl B. This version is essentially the same as Guitarfun v3.0, except for one major difference. In this release, USB support has been added courtesy of coder rodries. You can play Guitarfun using two USB keyboards, two Wiimotes, or two Guitar Hero 3 guitars.

By Stephen Totilo If you mention Digital Praise’s “Guitar Praise” game to anyone of a certain age (read: “old”), they’ll inevitably–and probably half-jokingly–ask the question: “Oh, is Stryper in the game?” This is for a variety of reasons: c) We are incredibly lazy.
