GrE writes, "Activision has today revealed the exact list of DLC coming to Guitar Hero 5 this November. How thoughtful is that? In November, we can all look forward to getting some more free song packs, and even the option to import songs from Band Hero to Guitar Hero 5 or vice versa. We also see some more good news for Wii rockers out there- the addition of the Death Magnetic album to the Wii store. Here is the concise list of all forthcoming DLC..."
PlayStation Universe takes a look back at some of the games and moments where David Bowie's music struck a chord in videogames.
Dance Magic, Dance. He will be missed. This is ground control to Major Tom, signing off...
Ended up doing quite well with ziggy stardust on GH; was only on medium but I still consider it an achievement 😃
Wasn't David Bowie in a Quantic Dreams game during the PS2 era?
These tracks wouldn’t be half as big if it wasn’t for Activision’s button-shredding megafranchise.
The writer of this article is obviously musically incompetent. Free Bird, nor Lynyrd Skynyrd, owes debt to anyone concerning their music and especially concerning Free Bird. It is one of the greatest and most highly ranked songs in the history of rock music, not to mention it contains one of the top ten guitar solos in rock history. I realize that in order to be considered great in the music industry these days all you have to do is copy something that someone else did years ago, but you should do a little research before making totally ridiculous and inaccurate statements.
Surprisingly enough, Thanksgiving is the perfect time to rediscover this gem.
Funny, went to my Daughter's house over the weekend. We played Rock Band, first time in about two years. It was just as much fun as I remembered.
I honestly never thought I'd play Guitar Hero again and just by happenstance my family bought some used guitars. I'm having a real blast playing it.
Never thought I would either, as much as I loved the game, I just stopped playing. Used to have "Rock Band Nights" at the house with bunches of people over... then, people just stopped coming and I just never got into the game as a solo person, it was always local multiplayer that was so fun... NOT WAS, IS so fun.
I am just not sure if the games are ready for re-release. I play RockSmith now... it is fun playing it solo since it is more of a practice simulator.
This is the game that got my son into wanting to play a real guitar. He cant play this game anymore as it throws him off when he was so good at it years ago.
Like I said in my article, Guitar Hero is definitely one of the factors that pushed me to learn drums and, later down the line, piano. Guitar Hero gave me my first taste of how much fun musical expression is.
I've only dabbled in Rocksmith, but it was fun and pretty practical. I'm also not sure if rhythm games are ready for a comeback or re-release quite yet. I think something like "Guitar Hero: Reunion Tour" would do well if they try and cash in the nostalgic value.
@ Sayburr: "Rock Band Night" was a frequently used term for me and my mates too !
OH, man, I loved our Rock Band Nights. A few adult beverages, a couple of crock-pots of food, and (at the end) 1089 songs to choose from... and I was 41 at the time of release, an old geezer playing.
Things kinda fizzled out with RB3...
I still don't think they are going to be able to keep up with Rock Band.
At least Death Magnetic is finally coming to the Wii
Yeah, this is an area that GH does NOT excel in.
Such a good game. Good songs too!
