Setlist Sunday: Guitar Hero Live

June 10, 2018December 30, 2022 Oscar Bernard 4 Comments

Guitar Hero, for all intents and purposes, was finished in 2011. It had released its final DLC pack in April of that year. Then, thee years later, all its DLC was pulled from the store. There wouldn’t really be any news for a while until leaked details from the proposed “Guitar Hero 7” surfaced.…

Setlist Sunday: Rock Band 4

April 15, 2018December 30, 2022 Oscar Bernard 9 Comments

Much like this series itself, it looked like the Rock Band franchise wasn’t going to come back following Rock Band 3 (not counting the spin-off title Rock Band Blitz). With the announcement that DLC was going to be ending in 2013, then with the next generation of consoles being released, all signs pointed to the end of the franchise.…

Setlist Saturday: Revolution X

April 1, 2017December 30, 2022 Oscar Bernard 1 Comment

When Midway was looking to make a follow up to their incredibly popular Terminator 2: Judgment Day arcade machine, there was really only one logical property to base it on: Aerosmith! Released in 1994 for arcades, Revolution X was a rail shooter where music is the weapon.…

Setlist Sunday: Rock Band Blitz

Rhythm games were in a weird state in 2012. Guitar Hero had announced in early 2011 that they were ending the Hero franchise and pretty much the only new release was a guitar teaching tool from Ubisoft.…

Setlist Sunday: Rock Band 3

March 19, 2017December 30, 2022 Oscar Bernard 9 Comments

Much like how a lot of Guitar Hero fans might point to Guitar Hero II as being the best game in the series if not the financial/cultural peak, Rock Band fans will take a similar view to Rock Band 3.…

December 17, 2016December 30, 2022 Oscar Bernard 8 Comments

There are many who would say that Guitar Hero had lost its way. Between DJ spinoffs that were REALLY good, pop themed spinoffs that were pretty decent, portable spinoffs of varying quality, and a Van Halen spinoff that was just bad, the Hero brand had lost its lustre.…

Setlist Sunday: Green Day: Rock Band

December 12, 2016December 30, 2022 Oscar Bernard 23 Comments

Guitar Hero had been doing the band-centric games for a while, but in 2009 Rock Band took a different approach when they released The Beatles: Rock Band. While the Guitar Hero titles were mostly just glorified re-skins of recent Guitar Hero games and were a 60-40 split of the titular band with a slew of guest acts that were relevant to the group (or, in the case of Van Halen, Eddie’s 15 year old kid), Rock Band decided to craft a loving tribute to the career of The Beatles with songs exclusively by the group.…

Arguably the most infamous of all the Guitar Hero games, there was definitely a “you get what you pay for” attitude surrounding Guitar Hero: Van Halen. You paid, of course, nothing given that for a long time purchasers of Guitar Hero 5 would be given a full copy of Van Halen for free.…

Setlist Sunday: Band Hero DS

August 7, 2016December 30, 2022 Oscar Bernard 2 Comments

The DS Guitar Hero games were popular enough to warrant three entries in the series, so it wasn’t surprising that, deep in to the year of oversaturation that was 2009, they’d make another one. Unlike the previous games, however, this wasn’t an On Tour title.…
