Blend Games writes: "Guitar Hero: World Tour is better than Rock Band 2. I know it seems gauche and fan-boyish to start an article bashing another game, but when the two games are so similar, with Guitar Hero: World Tour outright stealing and swallowing a page right out of Harmonix's playbook, it's hard not to make the comparison. But compare, I must, and Guitar Hero: World Tour is everything that Rock Band isn't-authentic feeling, musically diverse, and, most importantly, fun after hours of play, something Rock Band fails to accomplish with its flimsy feeling instruments and repetive track listing.
First, though, let's talk about the songs because as with any rhythm game, that's what makes or breaks the deal. Being a long-time fan of Guitar Hero, I was a little disappointed when Neversoft took over the reigns with the last game, as some of the songs just seemed to fall flat. But World Tour easily bypasses that problem with one of the best track listings I've ever heard in any game period. While it was nice to hear a song like, "Aqualung," by Jethro Tull in Rock Band 2, it really can't beat songs like Michael Jackson's "Beat It" (Are you kidding me, I LOVE that song), "Love Me Two Times," by The Doors, and "The Wind Cries Mary" by Hendrix. The sheer variety of songs in World Tour trumps anything in any game before it or currently on the market. You just can't beat this track listing. And that's not even taking into account the new create-a-song feature, which pretty much gives the game unlimited playability. I tried giving it a try and found that I'm going to need some work at it to make anything that legitimately sounds like music, but with so many different options available in the menus, I'm going to be tinkering with this feature for a long time; much longer than I've spent on any of the previous installments, no doubt."
Sometimes, gaming soundtracks can introduce players to bands and artists they've never heard of. This article is all about Matt's five favorites, thanks for gaming.

But here I wanted to focus on celebrities who appeared in games that weren’t so obvious. Games that didn’t really have a celebrity focus yet a celebrity appeared in that seemed almost random.
Here are 10 that I enjoyed the most."
