More Guitar Hero, this time will just Van Halen and bands like them. I doubt this will have anywhere near the level of impact as Guitar Hero Metallica, but I’m sure it’ll sell well. People love Guitar Hero and a large number of people love Van Halen. I don’t really fall into the latter category, but hey, who am I to judge.
I’m mostly Irish, so it goes without saying that I enjoy an alcoholic beverage every once in a while. It also goes without saying that I’m a big fan of the Dropkick Murphys. We used “I’m Shipping Up to Boston” as the entrance music for our wedding party, which was damn awesome. Now, that song is available in Guitar Hero World Tour. I have two words for you: FUCK YEAH!
It was an absolute no brainer to spend the 160 Banana Bucks to grab this on my Xbox 360. The song will be available later today for the PS3, so no one is left out (except Wii gamers, but you’re used to that already).
The song kicks major ass, so you better all be going out and buying it right now. Go ahead, go buy it now. I’ll wait. Maybe I’ll hum a little tune while you go ahead and buy the song. Oh you’re back already? Good job. Now go get online so we can play this as a full band (with me on drums, of course).
Activision dropped the full track list today for the upcoming DS title, Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits. If you have a DSi, you’re shit out of luck since there’s no GBA slot for the controller adapter.
There are some pretty cool tracks in the 28 that ship with the game, including Call to Arms by Angels & Airwaves, Falling Down by Atreyu, and Dashboard by Modest Mouse.
It’s a good thing I still have my DS Lite hanging around. My wife uses it for Tetris and Brain Age. I’ll have to steal that joint. Hit the jump for the full track list.
One of my favorite bands of all time, without question, is Metallica. Ever since the first Guitar Hero was released, I’ve wanted Metallica tracks in my music games. The DLC for the first Rock Band just served to whet my appetite, but now Guitar Hero Metallica is here to knock me on my ass.
With Guitar Hero Smash Hits coming June 16h, Activision dropped off the game’s debut trailer. Essentially, it’s a collection of all the coolest songs from previous GH games thrown into the World Tour engine. Granted, it’s going to be insanely cool to play Through the Fire and Flames on drums, but are we getting dangerously close to the point of saturation with the genre? Do we need to get multiple new Guitar Hero games every year? I think the rhythm game will start to fade out of popularity later this year.
Anyone looking to get some hands on time with GH Metallica will get that chance as soon as they download the very long demo that was released today. It is only out for the 360 as of now with no word if and when it is coming to PSN. There is a total of 4 songs, 2 from Metallica. The game will have tracks from other bands as well.
In the demo, virtual rock stars across the globe can shred, drum and wail to Metallica’s explosive hits “Sad But True” and “Seek And Destroy,” as well as “No Excuses” from Alice In Chains and “Stone Cold Crazy” from Queen, both hand-picked by Metallica as featured guest acts in the game.
Hit the jump for the official presser along with all the details.
Two great Bruce songs, “Born to Run” and “My Lucky Day” are out now on GH:WT for the price of free. I heard a rumor that after Feb. 4th, it will cost money, but don’t hold me on that. Either way, just DL now. You can add it to your queue by clicking here in case you don’t want to forget.
Coming Soon!
