Merry Christmas Guitar Hero Style!!!

Guitar Hero Christmas lights!!!

Ric Turner turns his home into one very cool Wii Guitar Hero game. It uses seven light controllers to control 21,268 individual lights while playing Eric Johnson’s “Cliffs of Dover".

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Looks like a deal to me!!

It seems that Activision is pulling no punches to make Guitar Hero 5 the alpha dog of music games this fall.  If you buy Guitar Hero 5 by October 1st, you can send in for a free copy of Guitar Hero: Van Halen, before it is released.  Plus it looks like every major outlet that does pre-orders is offering bonuses from extra DLC, free songs, to free shipping!!  Either they aren’t expecting GH: Van Halen to do so well (Band Hero and DJ Hero are coming soon too), or they are trying to bury Rock Band.

Plus, don’t forget to vote in the poll!!

Logitech Brings Premium Drum Set To Guitar Hero/Rock Band

Are you a Guitar Hero/Rock Band head that is sick of the cheap cheesy drum set that comes with the game itself? Well, Logitech is going to save you from having to listen to that whack whack plastic sound while hitting your licks. The price for this premium drum set is VERY premium, coming in at $230. The price is a bit excessive considering that it exceeds the price of the games themselves. Each piece of the drum set can be adjusted to the users needs, and Logitech claims that this set is more durable than the stock drum sets that come with the games (that I can believe). The set is wireless and use a IR dongle and not Bluetooth, which is known for its latency. The drum set is scheduled to hit the stores at the end of the month.
