Rock on! Guitar Hero is dead
I admit I was surprised in reading this news. I guess pressing buttons on cheap plastic guitars only appeals to so many people. My guess is that this industry really relied on continued music purchase and that probably fell flat. They should open this up and let anyone create their own guitar hero tracks and just charge for licensing the original music
