Think you can ever get enough of Guitar Hero? We don't, so long as RedOctane and company keep kicking out killer track lists. Unfortunately, that's not exactly the case with Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the '80s.

Activision's over-saturation of this once-great franchise has caused its demise.
These articles are a huge waste of time. NOBODY said anything about Guitar Hero dying until now so all of these articles are just looking for hits.
True, but now I'm just waiting for the inevitable death of COD......and Bobby Kotick.
Nah, CoD has time until it gets on the portable platforms. Then you know it's near the end.
Actually there was lots of talk about the death of Guitar Hero and the decline of the music genre before the decision was made to halt development of Guitar Hero and DJ Hero. The writing was on the wall when Warriors of Rock and Rock Band 3 failed to deliver.
Don't forget that Viacom sold off Harmonix after poor sales of Rock Band 3. The wheels were already in motion. People talking about it now are just trying to seem intelligent now that the predictions have come true.
I still think that Guitar hero had better song selection than Rock Band. That, unfortunetly didn't make it the better game though.
Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine answered a fan's question whether they were planning to make a Guitar Hero game. Here's his comments on the matter.
WorthPlaying writes, "Grammy Award-nominated American metal rocker and former White Zombie frontman Rob Zombie adds to his Rock Band DLC catalog (currently "War Zone") with three new tracks for the Rock Band platform, including "Dragula" and "Superbeast," from his debut solo album, Hellbilly Deluxe, as well as "Burn," from his new album, Hellbilly Deluxe 2, to be released Nov. 17. Zombie also has a film currently playing in theaters – Halloween 2, which he wrote, directed and produced."
GH3 is probably going to get better reviews for it's next gen console version. Can't wait for the 360 version, the online verses is really what is going to sell it. Also I'm a fan of 80's rock so this is an instant buy for me anyways.
Sounds like this title has just slipped for me from being a must buy (loved GH1 & 2) to being a "ill play Holy Diver when im drunk at my friend's house"... will i ever get to jam out to some CSN&Y or even some Jethro? There is still hope... rock band doesnt include a flute does it? ;)
