Activision Making Drum Hero?

08 Nov 2009 07:00:00 PST

Written by Hodgi92
We have Guitar Hero, Band Hero and DJ Hero. So why not Drum Hero? Or for that matter Bass Hero or even Sing (Mic?) Hero? Well according to a trademark, recently filed by Activision, Drum Hero is what we’re getting. Obviously as this trademark is all there is so far, this is strictly rumour but I w...

Rock Band 3 Will Teach People To Play Music For Real

06 Nov 2009 11:59:00 PST

My question is: Do gamers want to learn to play music? As a (mediocre) guitar player, lemme tell you: Playing real music is nearly infinitely more difficult than playing video game music. It's not fun to learn to play an instrument in the same way it's fun to learn a game (It's much more rewar...

KFC Madden NFL Box Unboxing and Review

03 Nov 2009 18:00:00 PST

Written by Owen Good
The meal comes in four configurations, offers four "collector's cups" featuring NFLers rendered, interestingly, in their cartoony Madden-for-the-Wii forms. McWhertor, still nauseous from last year's unboxing of the Guitar Hero meal, assigned this to me on the pretense that as the s...

Video Game Review - DJ Hero

02 Nov 2009 15:08:40 PST

Written by Chris
Ah, the Hero games. I really liked some of the Guitar Hero games and I’m looking forward to Lego Rock Band (not part of the same series, but at least the same idea). Mind you, I pretty much suck at these games, but still I find them to be enjoyable.

Review: Guitar Hero 5 (Xbox360)

27 Oct 2009 06:40:47 PDT

Claiming that this is the 5th Guitar Hero game is as preposterous as claiming Windows 7 is the 7th edition of Windows. We have multiple sequels to different versions, with single band spin-offs and portable versions. We are also soon to get Band Hero, DJ Hero and who knows: maybe MC Hero and Tr...

Written by delifte
I was walking home today from somewhere and was listening to a song on my ipod and thought to myself, “man that’d be fun to play on a video game thing”. And then I realized that logically speaking, it probably couldn’t be done. That song is on this list by the way. I rocked to it all the way home becau...

Why Rock Band and Guitar Hero are doomed

31 Aug 2009 01:07:37 PDT

Written by RawmeatCowboy
Rock Band and Guitar Hero both became extremely huge franchises. Millions of gamers embraced these franchises in what seemed like an overnight success story. One day we were talking about the music genre being dead, and the next it’s making more money than the industry’s top genres.
