Well, what do we have here. Several websites are reporting that the rumored full Beatles Rockband setlist that’s been going around is actually real. I generally don’t like to cover rumors, but this seems to be fact (confirmed by Game Informer) and I fully expect the Rock Band folks to send out the official press […]

VIDEO GAMES: Guitar Hero 5 Full Set List, Announced. Features 85 Tracks!
This morning the folks at Guitar Hero sent over an email with the final GH 5 set list. I’m going through it and I honestly can’t say I’m excited. I’ve always said Guitar Hero is the better Music Game but Rock Band was the better Music Platform because while I love playing GH, I’ve never […]
VIDEO GAMES: Guitar Hero: Smash Hits
Activision finally sent me my copy of Guitar Hero: Smash Hits on the day Michael Jackson dies. Ironically it seemed almost perfect that I would get a music game on the day a music legend passed. I was getting tired of watching the wall to wall coverage and decided, let’s fire up Smash Hits. Initially, […]
VIDEO GAME NEWS: Guitar Hero Smash Hits and On Tour: Modern Hits, Out Today
I’ve made my feelings about all of these multiple GH games well known, not to mention how utterly crappy the Guitarhero.com website is, but I’m still going to pick up Smash Hits – I mean come on it has Freebird, FREEBIRD! Activision brings rock’s hottest hits to all major retailers with the launches of their […]
VIDEO GAME NEWS: Guitar Hero 5 Coming this fall
The folks at Activision need to “slow their roll” because they are killing the Guitar Hero franchise with all of these releases. How many does Guitar Hero 5 make it? 4 or 5 different titles in 4 months? None of them compatible with each other? Let’s see we have Guitar Hero: Metallica which came out […]
VIDEO GAME NEWS: Are You Ready to be a DJ Hero?!
It had to happen sometime, Activision has officially announced DJ Heroes and Band Heroes at their annual Gamers Day event in LA which, strangely enough the Weasels never invite me to. But then calling them weasels probably means I won’t be getting any invitations anytime soon. I hate to say it but I’m intensely curious […]
VIDEO GAME NEWS: Guitar Hero World Tour Vs. Rockband 2
Since Activision isn’t going to send me my Guitar Hero World Tour kit for another few weeks, I’m not going to be able to review it for awhile. Which is good because I’m still stuck on Rockband 2 a game I don’t think I’ll ever be able to finish because I have over 300 tracks […]
VIDEO GAME NEWS: Activision and RedOctane Announce Guitar Hero Launch Plans
Last week Activision announced the availability of new downloadable tracks that will be available the week Guitar Hero: World Tour launches (this weekend, Sat. 25, 2008) and now in partnership with the evil Gamestop they are going to have a host of midnight launch parties this Saturday night. There will be air guitar challenges, rock […]
VIDEO GAMES: Guitar Hero: World Tour Track List
A few weeks ago, Activision announced the full track list for Guitar Hero: World Tour. I’ve been so in to playing Rock Band 2 (Addictive as always, but they broke the game parts with this new installment) the last two weeks that I forgot to post this up. I’ve soured on the last couple of […]
GAME NEWS: Metallica’s New Album coming to Guitar Hero III this Friday

ROCKBAND NEWS: The Who Hits This Week and Jam at E3
I’ve always been more a fan of Guitar Hero than Rockband, even though I recently purchased about 40 tracks. I just find I prefer the balance on GH to RB. RB’s normal level is way too slow and easy, while the hard level is way too hard – I can’t hit that stupid orange note. […]
