Take that Guitar Hero. F’ing Metallica. At last night’s EA press conference, Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos let the world know that Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” would be shipping with the game. Not only that, but more tracks from the band would be available as downloads.

Speaking of downloads, new content will be available every single week after the game’s release. And not just single songs and song packs, but whole albums as well. “Who’s Next” by The Who will be the first full album available to download. This will work on both the PS3 and Xbox 360. No word on pricing just yet.

I think Guitar Hero is going to lose out in this battle.

EA’s latest hybrid of DDR and Guitar Hero, Boogie for the Nintendo Wii, just had it’s musical lineup announced. It looks to be very heavily influenced by the 90’s. Here are the tracks:

ABC by The Jackson 5
Baila Me by Gypsy Kings
Boogie Oogie Oogie by Taste Of Honey
Brick House by The Commodores
Canned Heat by Jamiroquai
Celebration by Kool & The Gang
Dancing in the Street by Martha Reeves & The Vandellas
Dancing Machine by Jackson 5
Don’t Cha by Pussycat Dolls / Busta Rhymes
Fergalicious by Fergi
Get Right by Jennifer Lopez

Activision sent out a press release letting us know that Slash (of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver fame) will be gracing the hallowed halls of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.

Slash will be providing an original track to the game as well as appear as a boss battle character. Along with this announcement, Activision let us know that the classic hit Welcome to the Jungle will appear in the game as well.

I have to say, having Welcome to the Jungle is a great addition for Guitar Hero III, but just how much can this combat Rock Band’s huge arsenal of songs and artists?

Stick a fork in her, cause she’s done. The game we’ve all been waiting for is finished and off to production. Get set to play Guitar Hero 80’s Edition for the PS2 in late July.

The track list has been finalized, with all 30 tracks set to rock your socks off. My personal favorites are Nothing But a Good Time as made famous by Poison, I Wanna Rock by Twisted Sister, 18 and Life as made famous by Skid Row, and Lonely is the Night as made famous by Billy Squier.

I still wish there was a fully working guitar for the PS3 so I could pick this one up. I guess I’ll have to wait for Rock Band or Guitar Hero 3 later this year.

Keep reading for the full track list.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen any new tracks for the 360 version of Guitar Hero II. Where’s the promised 50 downloadable songs guys?

Well, after much uproar on the official Guitar Hero forums, there’s light at the end of the tunnel. A community manager from RedOctane, going by the name of rodth, had this to say to cool the fires:

Hi folks,

First off, thanks for your feedbacks and concerns on the future of GH. While nothing’s been formally announced, look for something to come down the pipeline around the July timeframe

I’m hoping the prices go down for the new tracks, and also that a bunch of the songs from the 80s Edition make their way onto my Xbox 360.

Jack Black + Kyle Gass = Tenacious D. Enough said.

Weezer’s blue album is still in my disc changer. I would have preferred Surf Wax America, but either way this is another welcomed addition to GH3.

Another GH3 gameplay video; I wish this song was this easy to play in real life.

Here is a gameplay sample from the upcoming sequel to the smash hit Guitar Hero series. If this song doesn’t get you going, you may need a pulse check.
