ZeroTolerance writes: Guitar Hero: Smash hits is kind of like the album AC/DC Live. Bear with me on this one for a moment. Almost everyone likes the band AC/DC regardless of the fact that every one of their songs sounds strikingly familiar. On that same level there are a ton of fans of Activision's Guitar Hero franchise. Let's face it, there have been a ton of the GH games in the last two years, but until now some of the most memorable moments in the franchise have felt left out of the loop. Smash Hits resolves that by bringing back the classics in one stellar package, and adding all the functionality found in the current games. Much like AC/DC did with their live album, Activision has given fans a chance to relive the songs that really set the genre on fire in one complete collection, and that is enough to get this fan excited all over again.
The rumors are swirling, so The Geek Culture has a few suggestions on how Activision can bring back Guitar Hero right.
A personal run down of a few games that despite being overlooked actually didn't suck, from shooters to action games.

Since becoming the number publisher, Activision has done everything possible to piss off gamers."
Well sadly, until the average gamer realizes that they are getting screwed over, Activision is going to be number 1 for a while(as much as I hate to say it).........
... it seems they can.
You need to get the message across with your wallet!
If you LOVE gaming, and if you HATE the way Activision is doing business: DON'T BUY ACTIVISION GAMES (or buy them used) and certainly DON'T BUY THEIR DLC!
It's THAT simple!
Amen. Honestly all the major pubs are starting to become jacked up. Take-Two with the DLC on BioShock 2's disc. EA with selling "DLC" that unlocks content in sports games instead of playing to earn it.
They're all borderline A-holes
Overcharging is the problem. Dragon Age Origins is one of my favorite games but the dlc is overpriced. dlc should cost a few dollars or it should be free.
There's only about 40 songs in this game, now if all of their other games have about 80 each why is it that they're charging the same price for fewer songs?
Well enough questioning things better go out to gamestop and buy it already.
