Setlist Sunday: Guitar Hero: Aerosmith

May 15, 2016December 30, 2022 Oscar Bernard

The Guitar Hero franchise had already been spun-off a couple times by this point with Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s and Guitar Hero: On Tour, but neither game managed to really capture the masses. That changed with Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, which has generated more money for Aerosmith than any one of their albums.…

Setlist Sunday: Guitar Hero: On Tour

May 8, 2016December 30, 2022 Oscar Bernard

Following the release of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, the Guitar Hero franchise was massive. Quick to capitalize, Activision developed a portable version of the game for the Nintendo DS. Guitar Hero: On Tour was released in May of 2008 and worked through an attachment known as the guitar grip that would plug in to the Game Boy Advance slot on the Nintendo DS.…

Setlist Sunday: Rock Band (2007)

April 30, 2016December 30, 2022 Oscar Bernard

Shortly after Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, a brand new rhythm game franchise would come on the horizon. Once RedOctane was acquired by Activision Harmonix fulfilled their contract with Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks The 80’s and then proceeded to create a new franchise (with MTV Games) that expanded on the original Guitar Hero concept by adding the vocals mechanic from their previous Karaoke Revolution games, and a drum kit.…

Well, here we are. Arguably the peak of rhythm gaming’s popularity and cultural penetration, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock was nothing short of a phenomenon. The first Guitar Hero game not to be made by original developer Harmonix, Guitar Hero III was moved to Activision and Tony Hawk developer Neversoft.…

April 17, 2016December 30, 2022 Oscar Bernard

In what would be the first of many (many, many) spin-offs to the Guitar Hero franchise, Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s was released to a middling response. Designed to fill out Harmonix’s contract before leaving the Guitar Hero series, Rocks the 80s was an 80s themed re-skin of Guitar Hero II.…

Setlist Sunday: Guitar Hero II

April 9, 2016December 30, 2022 Oscar Bernard

Widely considered to be one of the greatest rhythm games ever made, 2006’s Guitar Hero II is a beloved entry in the franchise. The first sequel to Guitar Hero, we’d still be a little bit away from the peak of the franchise in both sales and pop culture penetration.…

Setlist Sunday: Guitar Hero (2005)

April 2, 2016December 29, 2022 Oscar Bernard

This is where it all began. Sure, rhythm games had been around long before Harmonix and Red Octane stepped in to the ring to deliver the first Guitar Hero, but come November of 2005, the genre would never be the same again.…
