I got a huge kick out of this commercial for the latest installment of Guitar Hero, World Tour. It features Alex Rodriguez, Michael Phelps, Tony Hawk and Kobe Bryant all playing songs in pink dress shirts and underwear a la Risky Business. A-Rod sliding in really kills it for me. I wish I had millions of dollars so I could ...

That’s right, you read correctly: Activision is considering a subscription service to deliver monthly releases of fresh songs for Guitar Hero players.

Eric Ruckman was one individual disappointed by Guitar Hero: On Tour’s guitar peripheral for the DS. So, in an effort to form gameplay more faithful to the original Guitar Hero, Eric found a wireless PS2 guitar that no one wanted and cut a hole in the controller, removing all the guts. He then managed to connect the buttons of the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Activision has announced three new standalone wireless guitars for Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock. The controllers will be available for every console that the game will be on, and will include a sexy new all-black Gibson Les Paul model.
