TeamXbox writes: "The Guitar Hero series is roaring along, culminating with the recent release of the "band in a box," Guitar Hero: World Tour. However, Activision and the two business units responsible for the latest GH titles, RedOctane and Neversoft, have branched off to create another line within the franchise: Band-specific titles.
The first entry, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, came out last summer with much the same gameplay that music-game players were used to, but featuring a ton of special content that added major value for Aerosmith fans. These additions included some fun interviews with the band members detailing many of key moments in their history."

In many ways video games and heavy metal go hand in hand, at least when their digits aren’t occupied with a multiplayer match and/or mind-melting guitar solo. A huge number of games revel in the savagery metal is known for, letting you eviscerate armies of enemies just as soundly as fierce riffs eviscerate mortal souls. Games like Gears of War, Manhunt, Dead Space, and Postal are all examples of carnage, violence, and destruction, so they're totally metal, right?
Brutal Legend soundtrack it's epic, probably one of the best ever. Shadows of the Damned it's awesome, so underrated, sadly.
Bayonetta and Twisted Metal are classics, i still need to play Splatterhouse.
The rumors are swirling, so The Geek Culture has a few suggestions on how Activision can bring back Guitar Hero right.
Ubisoft announced recently that it will be releasing a new guitar-based video game called Rocksmith. Unlike Guitar Hero and Rockband, this game will allow gamers to actually learn how to play the guitar rather than just pressing a set of colored buttons.
So is Rocksmith the guitar game aspiring musicians have been truly looking for?
