James, Lars and Co. are going to to release their new album Death Magnetic simultaneously in record stores and as downloadable content in Guitar Hero 3. The album will later be available for Guitar Hero: World Tour. Word on the street they may have an Unforgiven 3. You can’t release an Unforgiven and have it not be a classic. (And since St. Anger was a throwaway album that Metallica needs to redeem themselves for anyway.)
Buzz on the internet states that Guitar Hero: World Tour got rights for Jimi Hendrix master tracks. Looks like Purple Haze, Foxy Lady and Little Wing were scored. This is good news since basically tapping on plastic toy guitars is wish fulfillment dreams for being able to wail just like Jimi anyway.
Get ready to ride into the Danger Zone because Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock is offering a free song download for the XBox 360 and the PlayStation 3. In celebration of Independence Day, Red Octane is offering free downloadable content through XBoX Live and the PlayStation Network. Guitar Heroes will be able to jam out to the theme of “Top Gun” while glorious explosions illuminate the night sky behind them.
Hey Heroes,
Rock Band giving you a case of drumstick envy? Well fear no more because Gametrailers has a glimpse of what Guitar Hero: World Tour has to offer! As a Guitar Hero fan I’d be lying if said I haven’t played my fair share of Rock Band, but the drums on World Tour seem to take it to the next level. It’s only fair that Guitar Hero steals from Rock band since now one couldn’t exist without the other. More the merrier.
