I used to love me some plastic instruments but I have to say, I’m just not excited about Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock or Rock Band. I think there’s a finite number of hits you can squeeze onto these games and with the thousand+ songs (combined) available in the Rock Band and Guitar Hero stores […]

VIDEO GAME NEWS: Activision creates a gamer’s wish list
The weather outside isn’t frightful (yet). And there shouldn’t be any delightful fires in your chimney. But that doesn’t mean you can’t start thinking about the holidays, when anticipated video games end up on wish lists and – hopefully – in stockings or under trees. Since you are so busy deciding who was naughty or […]
Michelle Rocks out to Guitar Hero 5
I feel like I’ve reviewed Guitar Hero and Rock Band so many times that I’ve run out of things to say about them. Originally, I wasn’t excited about Guitar Hero 5, Activision’s latest milking of their music game franchise. I looked at the initial set list and had no idea what many of these songs […]
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: Activision’s E3 Line-up Announced
With E3 upon us in a mere five days the Pre-E3 game line up announcements are starting to pour in Today, I got announcements from Crave, UbiSoft, Sega and Activision. I’m launching our Dedicated E3 site Site in a few days so that the main EM site isn’t taken over by Game News. In the […]
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: Guitar Hero World Tour Video
At the All Things Digital 6 conference, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick officially showcased the new Guitar Hero World Tour game. Personally, I prefer Guitar Hero to Rock Band because I like the track listing better. But Activision almost broke their money maker with Guitar Hero III. Those stupid boss battles, the difficulty level and the […]
