No more Guitar Hero!

Guitar Hero had its time in the sun as one of the most successful franchises in musical gaming. Still, it's been no secret that the once-respected brand, owned by Activision, has experienced pretty steep declines in the past few years, especially on the lackluster Guitar Hero 5. So, surprising or not, the announcement today that Activision would disband the Guitar Hero team and kill off development of the next title in the series is a sad bit of news to hear (though in fact, not as sad as hearing, say, Chinese Democracy). This announcement comes on the heels of larger-scaled layoffs at Activision, and more cuts are rumored in the DJ Hero division, as well. At least we still have Rock Band, right?

OK my confession is that I was a late starter in the GH Franchise and only now "getting into it".

I think GH Warriors of Rock is their best work yet........
 
To be honest... I bought GH3 played it for a week or 3 and now.... gathering dust. Was thinking about getting GH5 with the drums and the lot but then again.... Spend that amount of money on something that will gather dust in a few weeks time....

I had a habit of doing that. E.g. my Wii... Bought played a few games and now.... White Elephant!....
