Notes from the Brewing Kurt Cobain / Guitar Hero Travesty

Earlier this month, we posted about the horribly bad move of allowing Guitar Hero 5 players to “use” Kurt Cobain in any way they wanted in GH5. Well, seems like the web picked up on it and caused the expected “OMG WTF BBQ” response. So, here’s what you’ve missed since then. Warning: Bad Nirvana references [...]

QWF: Guitar Hero: The Beatles

I like to rank on Guitar Hero a lot here, but sometimes the truest things are said in jest. Take, for example, this wonderful parody trailer for Guitar Hero: The Beatles.

Buying Guitar Hero: Van Halen? This is what you get…

So, the rumors were true. The worst kept secret in 2009 gaming, Guitar Hero: Van Halen, is coming to beat the horse into the ground further entertain you later this year. Well, entertain you as long as you don’t like Sammy Hagar or Gary Cherrone. And hey, it wouldn’t be a Guitar Hero bilking spin-off [...]

GameStop Having Ridiculous Rock Band Sale

For those of you who still haven’t picked up, or were thinking of picking up, Rock Band, or Rock Band 2, it’s time to head over to GameStop.com, and get yourself a “wounded box” edition. What does that mean you ask? It means the game and equipment are fine, but the box is a little [...]

Demo for GH: Smash Hits Review

I managed to squeeze out of my wonderful time of working, sleeping and virtual lesbian sex in my replay of Mass Effect,  to try out the demo for the 7th  sequel to Guitar Hero, on expert guitar. (Yeah, 8 GH games. If you count the DS versions, that’s 11 by the end of June.) The [...]

DJ Hero Shows its’ Guitar Hero Roots and Integration

So, let’s be fair. We constantly dig on Activision and Neversoft for their corpse fucking rehashing Guitar Hero over and over again without adding much innovation. So let’s give props: They did innovate in Guitar Hero 4 with the Music Studio (despite the fact it hasn’t really shattered any expectations: not much has come out [...]

Guitar Hero 5 First Details Sputter Out

Well, the time has come. Spring is in the air, birds are migrating north, and E3 is just around the corner. Sounds like it’s time for more details on the latest Guitar Hero rehash game! This year’s new features include a 4-of-anything mode. Have someone who won’t let go of the mic? Grab another and [...]

Activision announces DJ Hero, Guitar Hero 5, and Band Hero

Well, just when you think this music genre proliferation is getting out of hand, Activision helps ready the ramp to go over said shark. Finally announcing what seemed inevitable, DJ Hero, Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero are not only in the works, but will see release this year. The long rumored DJ Hero will [...]

SHR! Review: Guitar Hero Arcade (Arcade)

So tonight, I finally ran across one of these badboys. Yep, it’s Guitar Hero. In arcade form. From Activision/Konami/Raw Thrills. Which, if you think about it, is mildly amusing, since Konami originally made Guitar Freaks for arcades in 2002, which was widely accused responsible for Harmonix making Guitar Hero in the first place. So what [...]

Guitar Hero: Van Halen not announced, but available for Pre-Order

File this under the worst kept secrets of the year thus far. Although it’s not been announced yet, Gamestop was accepting pre-orders for the next band specific version of Guitar Hero. My thought is that when Activision politely asked them to cut that out, they complied. As the game isn’t announced yet, there’s not much [...]
