Activision Sinks to a New Low (Guitar Hero to Guitar Zero)

Now I'm not saying this 7 ¾” X 3" pocket-sized Guitar Hero game isn't going to be any fun, it's just that, well, damnit, it's not. Okay maybe a little. For a minute. The questionable device has a number of songs from the first two video games and the neck of the guitar (which serves no purpose) folds into the body, so you don't have to worry about it poking a hole in your jewels. They hit shelves early next month for around $15. Just imagine -- how funny will it be when you can ask people if that's a Guitar Hero in their pocket or are they just happy to see you? If you answered not funny at all you're correct.

My lord, lame doesn't even begin to describe it.  FLOG THAT DEAD HORSE, ACTI, FLOG IT

I'm more interested in what they are gonna do for "DJ Hero", hopefully it will have a shit ton of house/trance/prog/electro/d&b (no reggae or rap) on the soundtrack and a way for your character to do a Jesus Christ Pose.

I'd like a little rap in it.  maybe some of the better stuff though.

DJ Hero wold awesome, all theyd have to do was throw in some Freeform, Gabber, Happy Hardcore and minimal techno and I'll be sold. Some dinky toy turntables and mixer would be hilarious also.

It would also be wicked if you could do a 'free party play' where you could cue up in game tracks and mix them live through the controller , so you could effectively Dj a party at your house at a fraction of the cost!
