I have never gotten too into GH or Rockband, not that they are bad games, I just suck at them! I am more surprised that there have been so many iterations of the game the last few years. I have a couple of the games, great great songs, I just wish i was better at them.  :P

Hallelujah! The game was basically DDR with a guitar shaped controller.

I got pretty good at GH before I stopped playing. I was even making my own custom songs for GH3 on the PC for a little while. Ive never bought another GH game since lol.

Honestly I'm glad they're done.  I feel bad if anyone got laid off, but seriously 19 games within 5 years is just a bit ridiculous


and no I'm not exaggerating

I'm glad they're done as well. I feel Activision didn't understand the rhythm gaming market very well and ran it dry  as fast as possible. I personally jump around from Rock Band 3 to real instruments. I think Rock Band promotes learning an instrument while also finding a way to appeal to musicians. Guitar Hero was more arcade-y for me. It appealed to a small crowd of hardcore rhythm game players yet appealed to noone else. That being said, it sucks to see so many people being laid off. I imagine there were some awesome people working on those games.

no surprise, a lot of people have been over the guitar hero games for a while now, myself included. I actually just got the first 3 for ps2 recently in a lot for dirt cheap, but i lack the guitar controller still. played the second one at partys a lot when it came out, fun games.
