HIGH IMPACT SEXUAL VIOLENCE
The series was dead to me since Guitar Hero 3

Oh My
Oh. Ok. I never really liked it anyway. It is a bit sad that DJ Hero (part of the team anyway) is going down with it, but hey I have the older games so I don't really care.

(thanks for making me read the same thing twice, it took me a whole minute to realize they were the same)
Meh. Guitar Hero has pretty much gone done the drain.
I have seen the amateur, and it is me.

I hope you get tiny bits of eggshell in all your omelettes for the rest of your life!
That all you got?
Maybe the Infinity Ward guys could sue for the rights to Co D and partner up with Treyarch? They've got enough evidence that Activision screwed them over, don't they?
That is the face of a man who just ate a kitten. Raw.
The Prodigal Returns
I'm starting to suspect that Activision's business decisions over the last few years haven't been based on blind stupidity after all, but wilful self-sabotage. And for what, so they can have all departments working on churning out several hundred editions of Call Of Duty a year? Because that kind of oversaturation is just begging for customer backlash.

On the other hand, this means that if Harmonix ever makes a future installment of Rock Band, they'll essentially have the entire market to themselves.
And "Reality" is unveiled. What did it want...? What did it see...? What did it hear...? What did it think...? What did it do...?

Unfortunately, they have no publisher.

Nice Job Breaking It Hero. Wut?

Yes, I am deliberately exaggerating, why do you ask?

Activision is not Satan.
Satan never cancelled Brutal Legend.

Nice Job Breaking Guitar Hero.

The lack of funk, soul or really any black music beyond Jimmy Hendrix and that one James Brown song people seem to think represents his whole genre has always made me shy away from the series.
But it's a very good idea, and canning it is a very bad idea.

"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.
Well at least now we can finally declare an official winner of the Rock Band versus Guitar Hero fight.
Now all we need is to have a nice visual effect of Rock Band decapitating Guitar Hero with tons of lightning and Rock Band shouting. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.
Or at least they should take this oppurtunity to get a hold of that Queen song "Masters of the Universe" (is that the right name?) and put it up for download for free; that'd be hilarious.
Scratch the surface of a cynic and you'll find a dissapointed idealist.
^ Princes of the Universe?
What's being less talked about is that DJ Hero bit the same bullet, and True Crime: Hong Kong also got the ax, presumably because Activision said they didn't sell as much as the Call Of Duty behemoth.
Sad all around, but quite typical of Activision. Didn't they also kill the Blur studio because it didn't meet their sales target?
The blind man walking off the cliff is not making a leap of faith.
NOT THE BEES
I'm wondering what Activision even has left beyond COD and leeching from Blizzard. This seems like gaining sustenance by amputating your own limbs.
They farm out development to smaller studios like Raven and thus get publishing rights for some other games like, I dunno, Prototype or the X-Men Origins game or stuff.
The blind man walking off the cliff is not making a leap of faith.
They still have Prototype, as well as Spyro and Crash.
Damn, Ninja'd

Thank you, Monty Oum.
