Guitar Hero Metallica Confirmed for Q1 2009

By
According to a Gamespot article, among Activision's SEC filings analyst Edward Woo stumbled upon some unforeseen information. Along with Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, Guitar Hero: World Tour, and Guitar Hero: On-Tour releasing in fiscal 2009, Activision plans to release Guitar Hero: Metallica. Here is the official statement:

"In fiscal 2009, we plan to publish Guitar Hero: On Tour for the NDS; Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, Guitar Hero: Metallica, and Guitar Hero IV across multiple platforms."

One cannot help but wonder whether the quality of the games will suffer with this many versions on the plate in such a short time. Not to mention complaints about charging $60 for a slight update in graphics and new songs. Only time will tell.

Going Casual Breaking the Hardcore Mold

By
Last Saturday I came across an article on the New York Times' website about the cost of gaming's new found popularity. A few days later, today, I read a reply to the article on GamerscoreBlog and it really started me thinking on the future of our industry as it grows to new heights. The article basically covers the transition of gaming from a hardcore, almost underground media to mainstream casually oriented markets and the effect is is having on the hardcore gamers. Here is one of the quotes that caught my eye: "Call it nerd rage. Like loyalists of a once-partisan politician who tacks toward the center later in an election cycle, old-school gamers are coming to terms with the ramifications of their favorite’s newfound popularity. Though they have long craved mainstream respectability for video games, players sometimes resent the concessions their champion must make to attract mainstream adherents."
