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 Randy Nelson Activision's announcement that songs from Guitar Hero World Tour and Smash Hits can be "imported" into Guitar Hero 5 (and Band Hero) had everyone thinking back to Rock Band 2's ability to rip songs right off the original Rock Band disc. As it turns out, in this case you won't need a disc at all.

By Duncan Geere We played, we had fun, and are happy to report that Guitar Hero fans will be happy when the game hits 18 September. Given that the Rock Band series is a little distracted at the moment, mucking about with Lego and the Beatles, this could be the point at which Guitar Hero strikes back.

By RawmeatCowboy IG: In terms of strategy for Activision… you have some hot selling IP in Guitar Hero, Call of Duty and Tony Hawk has been reinvented with the new board from the Robomodo guys, but do you ever feel there’s overkill in terms of too many Guitar Hero SKUs? I think the Rock Band guys have a slightly d...

By Richard Mitchell Griffith doesn't seem concerned by competition from The Beatles: Rock Band either, saying quite simply, "Well, Rock Band is the most similar title on the market, but Guitar Hero outsells it by four to one in the US; in Europe that number is ten to one."
