I think I've played at least six versions of Reptilia, yea it's an ok song, but please...stop using it because you've already got the rights to it. I'm not looking forward to playing songs on games I already own. Between this and news that GH Metallica would include a bunch of songs already included with RB2, I'm willing people will be unhappy that a game they've owned for a year has the same songs as the LATEST music game, even from another company it's a poor decision.

Wow, three songs in that list that are already in GHIII. Which I'm going to go ahead means they'll also be there for GHGH.

Getting real tired of these music games, I can't wait for this trend to die out.

@VengefulRonin: Which is why people hate what Activision is doing. Sure, we as gamers can tell the difference between GH and RB...but to the general populace there IS going to be a music game overload.

People will get sick of the genre thanks to the oversaturization of GH and RB will get drug down into the gutter with it.

Meh. No online means no purchase. I enjoyed the first game, but after that when I realized they weren't even going to put forth effort to include online play, I said forget it with Decades. Besides, I don't listen to any of the "modern hits" on that list. It's far removed from any of the music I enjoy. Pussy rock, woo woo wooooooo.

Christ, where's the Metallica, Megadeth, Faith No More, Tool, etc. etc.? I mean, at the very least, they could make a version with rock/metal that doesn't cater to complete doorknobs.

@TNAfan121: Modern Hits. They haven't released anything since American Idiot a few years back, and their REAL hits were in the mid-90's.

There's more entries in the series than a triple-cunted hooker.

Ok I'm getting really sick of Metallica games now. Meteallica is my favorite band, but because activision is like raping the series I'm not buying it and that's for sure.

Too...many...Guitar Hero games...

Seriously, how are they not crumbling under franchise fatigue by now? Absurd.

CmdrBladeHearts is replacing his perfectly good screen name to express desire for a The World Ends With You sequel. Get on it!

@CmdrBladeHearts: I pwned someone at Kotaku and all I got wa...: I blame that on Harmonix leaving after GH II, and then the "me too" mentality of World Tour. Guitar Hero after Harmonix is just playing catch-up with Harmonix, with their drums being the only real improvement over Rock Band.

@Boter:

Harmonix was doing nothing more than playing catch-up with GuitarFreaks. Rock Band extended it further by mixing GuitarFreaks with Percussion Freaks. I don't know why people keep thinking Harmonix is this unflinchingly original company. They're not. And they're the ones that chose to leave Activision and sign on to the destroyer of all music good, MTV. I like both series, but I still like Guitar Hero best of the three.

With the DSi coming along, they have a limited release window for that. Wonder if it'll affect sales.

Activision are the only ones who could have possibly made Guitar Hero uncool.

This description for an upcoming Wii game, shows exactly why the Wii does not get used in my house:

Eduardo the Samurai Toaster

Platform: Wii

Rating: Everyone

Content descriptors: Mild Cartoon Violence

Rating summary: This is a side-scrolling action game in which players control a cartoon toaster as it traverses through colorful environments. Environments are filled with whimsical enemies such as aggressive fruit and vegetable creatures. Players can shoot pastries at enemies and must avoid getting hit by projectiles (e.g., bamboo spears, "durians," and wooden poles) to advance.

"Aggressive fruit and vegetable creatures" WTF.

Nintendo and its third parties have gone from making real games to just shoveling out any piece of crap they can through out to all the soccer moms and grandparents think is good to get for their kids. Sad to say If I didn't still have so many gamecube games I would have no reason to own this system. Hell, even the N64 put out games targeted at gamers not this newly adopted fixation on the "casual" market.

What's the deal with Paralyzer? Good song and all but it sounds just like Youth Gone Wild from Skid Row.

It seems like the ESRB lets the cat out of the bag for game companies a lot. I think I recall reading an article on Kotaku a few months ago saying that there will be something to stop these ESRB pre-reveals. Does anyone else remember this, or am I just being a delusional bowl of n00bersauce?

@Murgatron: The ESRB will not release the info until the company says its okay. So if the ESRB is revealing this now...then Activision gave them the greenlight.

But really, is "New Guitar Hero game in the works" a spoiler/shocker for anybody these days?
