Review: Band Hero
If you're still wondering what Band Hero actually is - and I certainly was until about two months ago, when Activision started giving demonstrations - it's a pop-centric, family-friendly reskin of the excellent Guitar Hero 5. It's presumably been given a different name so that it doesn'...

The members of pop act No Doubt are suing Activision over the use of their avatars in Guitar Hero spin-off Band Hero. Their complaint is the same as Kurt Cobain's widow Courtney Love's over the appearance of the Nirvana frontman as a playable character in Guitar Hero 5 - that their likenesse...

Review: DJ Hero
The turnaround has been astonishing. Guitar Hero launched in 2005, its first set-list composed extensively of cover versions, with the music industry's nostrils too busy sweeping lustily over cisterns to pay it much heed. Developer Harmonix was virtually required to shuffle up to reco...

News: Guitar Hero 5 demo on Xbox Live
Strumming up enthusiasm. Activision has uploaded a demo of Guitar Hero 5 to Xbox Live. Assuming that's how it works. It's probably not. Anyway, however it got there, it's 478MB and consists of three songs, which you can try out in the new jump-in Party mode.

News: DJ Hero date set for Europe
Whether that will be too high to spark another Guitar Hero-like success for the publisher remains to be seen. Nevertheless, Activision is throwing everything behind DJ Hero, signing big-name DJs to remix original tracks for the game and throwing lavish parties starring Jay-Z and frien...

DiRT 2, Beatles, Section 8, Guitar Hero 5, Scribblenauts, Need for Speed: Shift, Halo 3: ODST and Aion, to name a few. Cast your minds and your eyes back 12 months and if anythin...

News: Band Hero has new instruments
Spot the difference. Activision will adorn poptastic Guitar Hero spin-off Band Hero with a brand new drum kit and guitar this autumn. The drum kit, pictured in our gallery, has "floating" pads that make hardly any noise as well as a more responsive kick pedal.
News: DJ Hero turntable only works in DJ Hero
Peripheral incompatible with anything else. It's a statement that contradicts the instrument-sharing strides made by Rock Band and Guitar Hero lately. However, DJ Hero has only one peripheral and will be rival-less from launch this autumn until sometime next year.

News: Music games are "crap", says Bunnyman
Echo & the Bunnymen lead singer Ian McCulloch has dismissed music games as "crap" - and wished instant death on everyone who plays them. Asked if he was aware of games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band, he claimed to have once seen somebody trying to play one. The opinionated McCulloch - famo...

Review: Guitar Hero 5
Five years ago, I could not have imagined a digital Jimi Hendrix appearing in a rhythm-action videogame. For me, the endorsement of real-life artists (even ones who aren't dead, like Paul, Ringo, Slash and Matt Bellamy) cements Guitar Hero and Rock Band as a legitimate way of enjoying mus...

Review: The Beatles: Rock Band
From banging on record label doors, begging and bidding for content on a tight budget, to rockers falling over themselves even in a sober state to bag a place on what have become playlists that can make a band - that's happened in just four years. But as big as Activision and MTV's music giants...

Review: Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits
It's also a very different business. When RedOctane originally licensed the songs for Guitar Hero, little did it know we would be tripping over plastic drum-kits and impaling ourselves on microphone stands on the way to the fridge just a few years later - and let alone doing so in its name. Gu...
