The Guitar Hero series has sold over 25 million units since its 2005 debut, making it the third most lucrative franchise in gaming history -- but one company paid $300,000 to not be part of its success.

That is awesome!

And kudos to the guy in charge, he has held his hands up and I love his quote:

"Everyone else made hundreds of millions and we paid money to not be a part of it," Richardson said. "It was brilliant. I come up with these strokes of genius from time to time. That was my best."

Dredd has been made into ... I think 4 games? the last one I played was Judge Dredd vs Death. It was based on the comics, and it ended in a cliffhanger. If only a sequel were to be made...

Edit: Still a great topic, though!

I think the closest you can have to Kill Bill is No More Heroes 1. The vibes, the coolness, the gore and everything just screams Kill Bill! Kill Bill! Kill BIll!!!! haha
