Activision Dials Down Guitar Hero Releases, Plus Possible Patent Problems

2009 - it was the year of way too many music video games.  The prime culprit was Activision, releasing a whopping 25 different SKUs last year.  Even for die-hard fans, that's too much of a good thing, and it's no surprise sales were lower than expected.  According to a conference call to investors, Activision plans for only two Hero games this year, both coming in the second half.  A sequel to DJ Hero and an unnamed Guitar Hero game are coming.  No PS2 versions, nor instrument bundles will ship for either.  Could there be trouble with the oversaturated franchise?

50% Off Guitar Hero 5 for Xbox 360 At Amazon

Quite an impressive deal comes to us via Amazon.com today.  After just over a month in release, Guitar Hero 5 is on sale for 50% off.  The deal unfortunately only applies to the Xbox 360 version (sorry Wii and PS3 rockers).  We found the game impressive and gave it a very good review.  Don't forget that the Guitar Hero World Tour DLC that's on sale this week is compatible with Guitar Hero 5 as well.  If you're a music game fan, and haven't picked this title up yet, now's the time to nab it!
