GH writes, "Back in 2005 we experienced one of those releases which redefine gaming for a generation, the release of Guitar Hero. Selling over a million copies it brought a new style of game and gameplay to a home market and earned rave reviews throughout the industry. As is always the case with popular games Guitar Hero was quickly followed by a sequel which improved on various aspects of the original, including the use of more songs and since then over 3 million units have been sold."
"Going back a few console generations, gaming experienced a surge of rhythm-based games. From shredding out in Guitar Hero to hitting the floor in Dance Central, game started crossing the line between general, real world practices and digital entertainment. Like most other genres, rhythm games became saturated and dipped off in popularity." --PlayStation Enthusiast

The rumors are swirling, so The Geek Culture has a few suggestions on how Activision can bring back Guitar Hero right.
