Guitar Hero

By Hodgi92 We have Guitar Hero, Band Hero and DJ Hero. So why not Drum Hero? Or for that matter Bass Hero or even Sing (Mic?) Hero? Well according to a trademark, recently filed by Activision, Drum Hero is what we’re getting. Obviously as this trademark is all there is so far, this is strictly rumour but I w...

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...

By RawmeatCowboy Simply put, Guitar Hero 5 is a fantastic and full-featured Wii rhythm game. You can import songs from past titles, you have a large and diverse set list to go through, and there are interesting new challenges to tackle. Any Guitar Hero fan with Wii instruments would be remiss to ignore this ex...

By Chris Ah, the Hero games. I really liked some of the Guitar Hero games and I’m looking forward to Lego Rock Band (not part of the same series, but at least the same idea). Mind you, I pretty much suck at these games, but still I find them to be enjoyable.

By RawmeatCowboy “Activision has taken a lot of heat in gamer circles for its perceived shameless exploitation of the Guitar Hero franchise. Against this backdrop, DJ Hero is an even more impressive feat of game development.” - Game Informer “Guitar Hero has always displayed a certain reverence toward mu...

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 Chris Kohler NPD added that The Beatles: Rock Band outsold Guitar Hero 5, saying that MTV’s Beatles game sold 595,000 units in total across the three platforms while Activision’s sequel sold 499,000 copies in total across its four platforms (which include PlayStation 2).

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 Deux Michaels The BBFC website’s listing for Guitar Hero 5 indicates that both Shirley Manson and Matt Bellamy factor into some content in the game. From the description on the site, we would guess that it would come in the form of interviews. On previous Guitar Hero games it has been common to have an inter...

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 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.
