Memo to Activision: Nobody playing Guitar Hero cares about Van Halen

LAGNE: "Guitar Hero publisher Activision knows it makes and sells video games, right? Giving them the benefit of the doubt that they do understand the concept, why would they allow a Guitar Hero: Van Halen standalone title to even exist?

It was pretty baffling to see Guitar Hero: Aerosmith ever reach daylight--a game that is currently being hawked at the local GameStop by pricing it at $10 and throwing in a wired guitar peripheral for free; or as the GS employee put it: "Get a guitar for ten bucks and a piece of trash that you can throw away in the dumpster outside."

Now we must deal with a Van Halen title, meaning Activision somehow gave themselves the idea that this thing will fly off the shelves."
