When Guitar Hero: On Tour was first announced a few months ago, a lot of people were skeptical of how their favorite peripheral-based game could possibly be brought to a handheld. Well, no one was more skeptical than Vicarious Visions were when they first started talking about it in early 2007.

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.
