A 12-year-old Washington state boy may make his way into the Guinness Book of World Records. He did it by playing the popular video game "Guitar Hero."
Watch his nimble fingers move on the fretboard. You may be surprised they belong to a 12-year-old boy.
Dylan Phifer says "I never expected to break a world record on something that is kind of important. maybe something kinda small but not this big." In the video gaming world, Dylan Phifer of Everett has reached rock star status.
Andrew McGillivray, who works at Game Crazy, says "he's incredible. I've never seen anyone play guitar hero like him, it just baffles me how good he is."
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
The Guitar Hero franchise died in the wake of Activision's lust for Call of Duty, but we should be dusting off those plastic guitars for a new Guitar Hero game.
Guitar Hero was good. The problem was Activision started creating many versions. Guitar Hero had the every one year cycle like COD and people felt they were being robbed.
Why in the hell would one want to spend time to learn a button mashing order when you can lean to play a real guitar in the same time frame.
As the world reels from the shockwaves of the seismic news that Microsoft is acquiring the proverbial swamp of the video-game landscape, Activision Blizzard King, it only seems natural that our minds should now shift towards what the fallout will be for presumably years if not decades to come.
Another Prototype would be awesome.
As for Singularity, I don't necessarily need a sequel, I just want to see Raven be able to flex their creative muscle again; not just be relegated to assisting with CoD. A lot of the old guard is still with the company.
That's part of what I'm hoping to see come from this acquisition. Revive teams like Vicarious Visions and Ravem to actually allow them to work on their own new projects again.
I'd like to see Activision get the Transformers license again and continue the War and Fall of Cybertron games. the movie games were crap and the game that combined both movie and Fall and War of Cybertron sucked a new Prototype would also be good as well.
Re-imagining of River Raid and the original adventurer Pitfall. Oh Zork is also a great game.
Maybe he should play a real instrument.
The new generation of gamers take this thing pretty serious..
not like us back in ur super mario/duck hunt days
This comes to mind.

Here's a light hearted new report to fill some time otherwise used to show picture and videos from Iraq and Afganistan where 1,000's of innocent people and equally innocent soldier die... but you don't want to look over there just in-case you question more than
'Is a FREE health service fair?'
