"For the last 24 hours it seems that everywhere you look people are mourning the cancellation of the Guitar Hero series. People everywhere are tweeting, posting, and blogging their favorite memories and highlights from the years of plastic guitar shredding. Myself on the other hand, also a devout music game player, I think that Guitar Hero is everything that is wrong with video games today and it should have been put out of its misery a long time ago..."
Activision Blizzard ordered to pay $23.4M for patent infringement involving popular games.
I would read the article but the giant pop-ups from the top and bottom of the screen made me close it.
