You’ll never look cool playing on those plastic guitars from Red Octane that feel like they were designed for a gnome. It’s a good thing Peak is releasing these full-size wood guitars for the PS2 and PS3. Sorry, Wii and 360 rockers, looks like you’ll be playing the world’s smallest violin. Both Guitar Hero and Rock Band are compatible with the new guitar and trust me, the groupies that’ll lay you enjoy both games equally. The Starpex guitar comes with... Continue reading

Ryan may kick ass at Guitar Hero, but I fail miserably due to the fact that I play a real guitar and I find it hard to unlearn from the game. For the brainiacs at Near Future Laboratory, mastering a game isn’t necessary when you have a robot to do it for you. Using solenoids and what I’m assuming are air compressors or a pneumatic system of some sort, scientists have created a machine that can play everyone’s favorite rock... Continue reading

The next time I see Peter Ha from CrunchGear (and I will soon), I’m punching him in the stomach. You know why? Because this video showcasing the latest Guitar Hero title for the Nintendo DS is just appalling. They hired a major movie announcer guy for the voiceover, some huge douche to play the role of a rock star and the game looks nearly impossible to play without looking like you’re retarded. Memorable quotes from the above video include: “Wiggle,... Continue reading

Shivers me timbers and call me DIY! I just bought a Guitar Hero controller yesterday and now the boys at Giz’ are saying that Guitar Hero 4‘s controller will have additional fret-button-thingies. Sheesh. The case for this new accusation? A GH promo page shows an expanded drum kit and additional frets on the guitar. This could really make modding the controller interesting come later this year… Link

This is the shit. Sorry, but there’s really no other way to describe my excitement for this mod. For under $100, including the cost of the controller, Dave was able to create a full-fledged MIDI controller from a wireless Guitar Hero guitar. Wondering what you can do with it? Check this out: With the current version you can: play 2 octaves of an 8 note scale at a time change the starting note anywhere in the range of a regular... Continue reading

Mr. Baxter upstairs is very upset with you. He’s well aware that you and your “crew” have been taking extra-long lunches so you can squeeze in matches of Guitar Hero in the break room. Yes, with every missed chord in YYZ, Mr. Baxter grows tired of your game and would really love it if you got back to your desk and finished those reports on moose statistics. But you’re a rebel. Just like Lou Reed and Joey Ramone, you’re not... Continue reading

Hot on the heels of the announcement that 17 new songs are being added to the Guitar Hero III lineup comes this bad ass hack that allows you to turn your controller into a working instrument. Just keep in mind that you will actually need some musical ability to play this thing – and getting through the expert levels on GH doesn’t make you a musician. It makes you a highly skilled fake musician. If you are up to the... Continue reading

Activision has just announced 17 new tracks for you to butcher on the upcoming Guitar Hero III Legends of Rock. The list features an eclectic assortment of songs from the likes of Disturbed, Slipknot, The Killers, White Zombie, Pat Benetar, The Who, Cream, Santana, and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Check out the full list after the jump.

So you’ve heard of Guitar Hero and its recent release of its second iteration on the PS2. If not, just think of Dance Dance Revolution (DRR), and Guitar Hero is DDR for rockers. So while the release of Guitar Hero 2 isn’t news anymore, the ability to do custom songs definately is. The people at the Scorehero forums have figured out how to go around the system and code their own note charts and import mp3s to play along to.... Continue reading

Those guys over at Team Xbox have gotten quite lucky and snagged some official images of the box and guitar bundle for the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero II. Guitar Hero II was (and still is with the recent release of version II) a phenomenon like DDR for the PlayStation 2 when it came out. It seems that these live type of games really do have a place in casual and hardcore gamers homes. Back to these images. On... Continue reading
