GamerNode recently had the chance to sit down with RedOctane and Vicarious Visions for an early hands-on look at Guitar Hero: On Tour for the Nintendo DS. While it is natural to question how it might work, or even doubt the possibility of a Guitar Hero game on Nintendo's handheld, Vicarious Visions has managed to develop something that is unique, functional, and faithful to the franchise, leaping all of the hurdles that have come along with such a drastic change of format.
Alex S. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "So as the Sun sets on Vicarious Visions as an independent studio within Activision|Blizzard, let’s take a look at the top 10 best games they have ever put together."

GoozerNation author Ryan Johnson loves delving into the Value Bin and Available Now sections of Goozex to find a game that perhaps was wanted back in the day, but wasn't purchased because it was just too much of a risk. Last time in, he found Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades for a mere 100 Goozex points. While it was a bit pricey back in the day, this was an unpassable deal. Is the game worth searching out?

Chris Buffa (Modojo): For the most part, the video game industry is fairly predictable and disinterested in taking risks. That explains the glut of sequels and copycat titles collecting dust in stores and warehouses.
That said, a handful of companies and designers occasionally do something different. Results have been mixed, but by and large, these games stand out for offering a unique experience you can't find anyplace else.
