Abstract: To say the marketplace is over-saturated with music games at this point would be to state the obvious. Sure, we've had five "Hero" games come out so far this year, in addition to three Rock Band titles and countless karaoke games, but the fact is, even th...
Overall I enjoyed playing Band Hero like I enjoyed playing Guitar Hero games back when I started. I’m not placing any awards on the Leaderboards, but that’s not why I play. I can recommend this game to anyone who enjoys a good party title and who isn’...
Abstract: Band Hero for the PS3 is Activision’s attempt to win the hearts and minds of a slightly different demographic than in the past. Will it appeal to you? Keep reading as we take a closer look.While Activision's very popular previous releases of Guitar Her...
Abstract: Since launching in 2005, there have been over a dozen installments in the Guitar Hero series, which some have used as a prime example of Activision’s dedication to exploiting their most popular franchises. As one might expect, the numerous sequels and ...
