Guitar Hero 5 - review

03 Nov 2009 10:57:05 PST

Written 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...

Video Game Review - DJ Hero

02 Nov 2009 15:08:40 PST

Written 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.

Review: Guitar Hero 5 (Xbox360)

27 Oct 2009 07:40:47 PDT

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...

Opinion: Launch Primer -- DJ Hero

25 Oct 2009 23:01:00 PDT

Activision actually trademarked DJ Hero after Guitar Hero exploded, long before the project that would actually become DJ Hero came to fruition. DJ Hero was originally an untitled, unannounced DJ take on Guitar Hero in development for Vivendi Games by FreeStyleGames before Vivendi me...

Opinion: Five songs you won't see in Rock Band or Guitar Hero

24 Sep 2009 23:27:04 PDT

Written 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”. And then I realized that logically speaking, it probably couldn’t be done. That song is on this list by the way. I rocked to it all the way home becau...

Opinion: Guitar Hero 5 Music Studio Impressions: Jamming With Bach and Rimsky-Korsakov [Impressions]

11 Aug 2009 17:20:00 PDT

Written by AJ Glasser
I finished my demo with another Neversoft-created song that turned out to be a Back medley. I don't think I'm enough of a musician (or any kind of musician, really) to ever make something so wonderful myself. But if I buy Guitar Hero 5, I'll be a getting a ticket to enjoy the brilliance of other b...

Review: Dancing Stage Supernova 2 (PS2)

28 Jul 2009 01:00:00 PDT

Before every other rhythm game there was Bemani. It can be argued that just about every other rhythm ever invented is just a variation of Bemani – it is the series that introduced pressing buttons in time with the music. So before Guitar Hero there was Dance Dance Revolution, or Dancing Stage...

Download Games at http://here.wiigo.info/ As soon as Rock Band let you play guitar, bass, drums, and sing to your favorite music, it was clear the bar had been raised in the music-game genre. It wasn't long before Activision announced that the Guitar Hero series would follow suit. The result...

Opinion: Rock Band 2 is better than Guitar Hero World Tour on Wii

30 Dec 2008 09:00:53 PST

Written by tips@infendo.com
So based on these categories and my personal preferences, Rock Band 2 is better than Guitar Hero World Tour. Having played both Rock Band 2 (RB2) and Guitar Hero World Tour (GHWT), I can now deliver my final opinion: Rock Band 2 is better. That’s a pretty broad statement, so let me break it dow...

The Gadget: Riff Rocker, an even smaller miniature USB guitar that's made to work with Frets on Fire, the open source PC knockoff of Guitar Hero. The guitar's got the normal amount of fret buttons, but instead of a strummer, you get a two-way rocker button that's meant to be played with two fi...

Guitar Hero World Tour PS3 Review

21 Nov 2008 08:46:13 PST

Guitar Hero World Tour is the answer to the release of Rock Band a year ago, as it introduces the full band set to the Guitar Hero franchise with the addition of drums, microphone, and bass support to go along with the guitar. So is this enough for Guitar Hero to solidify its spot as the king of t...

Opinion: Guitar Hero World Tour launches, band drum experience laggy

Written by TDavid
Guitar Hero World Tour sports an impressive list of tunes, don’t get me wrong — and there is the ability to download for $$ a small few tracks (like Metallica’s complete Death Magnetic album) as well as what other players create in GH Tunes for free, but it doesn’t come close to matching Rock...

PS2 Review: Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s

08 Aug 2007 23:02:29 PDT

Written by Matthew Valdez
Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s leaves nothing behind from the formula that was last used in Guitar Hero II. In fact, it doesn’t add anything either. Instead of jamming to songs that are popular today, Rock the 80s lets you jam on oldies such as "Turning Japanese" from The Vapors. Rock the 80s...

Opinion: Another Third-Party Guitar Hero Controller: Does It Suck?

20 Jul 2006 13:40:13 PDT

So caveat emptor when we point out this other Guitar Hero third-party controller made by DDRgame and sold by Amazon. It's a little more traditional looking, in line with the original Guitar Hero controller, with a slightly cooler beck and a flaming red color. Unlike the Shredder, the Amazo...

Opinion: Third Party Guitar Hero Controller Does NOT Shred

19 Jun 2006 08:40:04 PDT

A week back or so, we enthusiastically burbled on about the Shredder, a third-party Guitar Hero controller that made the liquid in our crotches glow through the skin like a lava lamp. We said we'd go buy one. This was a lie. It was part of a devious plot to get you to spend your hard-earned money fo...
