When you buy something, especially something you really want and/or have saved for, you don’t usually think to yourself, “Yay, I can’t wait to pay for this twice”. Yet Activision seems to think you think that very same thought everyday as the bittersweet announcement of transferable songs from Guitar Hero:World Tour and Guitar Hero: Smash Hits will be able to be transfered to Guitar Hero 5. While the added benefit of importing older purchased songs is a huge plus as it allows you to play one game and not have to constantly switch discs in and out, charging to essentially buy a song twice is hardly the way to go about it. Honestly, even if I had a couple songs I wanted to transfer, I would keep switching discs as opposed to dollars. Know what I mean? I’m just not the type that gravitates towards these sorts of gimmicks. Your turn. Are you going to bite the bullet and re-buy your songs or are you can keep doin’ it old school and switch discs?

Like music? Like rockin’ out on your shiny plastic guitar to synced colored images on a tv screen? Sweet, Guitar is your game. The game that swept the nation just a couple short years ago while slightly cooled off now in popularity still has quite a loyal following. Naturally, those of you who love music and can’t get enough of the Guitar Hero action love knowing up the song list before the game actually gets released as to spend many a night awake in bed dreaming about how you’re going to be a rockstar when the new game launches. You can see yourself bouncing all around the room thrashing your guitar in violent motions. For you determined rockers, the a list with 22 new tracks awaits you right inside.
If you are still hooked like white on rice to the Guitar Hero franchise (admit it, it’s getting a bit long in the tooth now), you will have a new reason and resources to rock out to come this fall thanks to Activision and their ever talented group of game developers. Guitar Hero is no doubt an addictive game and franchise even though it hasn’t really changed all that much since introduction, save for the World Tour rendition in which other band positions were thrown into the mix to compete with rival Rock Band. So whos coming along to play in GH 5 and what new game play modes can we expect?
