Guitar Hero series cancelled; Rock Band was better anyways

I'm not sure how many people really play Guitar Hero anymore, but for me, once I played Rock Band, I never played another Guitar Hero game.  However, if you were still playing Guitar Hero...uhh...you better be warming to Rock Band because Guitar Hero has been cancelled.

NEW YORK – These days, guns are more popular than guitars, at least when it comes to video games. The company behind "Guitar Hero" said Wednesday that it is pulling the plug on one of the most influential video game titles of the new century.

Activision Blizzard Inc., which also produces the "Call of Duty" series, is ending the "Guitar Hero" franchise after a run of more than five years. The move follows Viacom Inc.'s decision in November to sell its money-losing unit behind the "Rock Band" video games. Harmonix was sold to an investment firm for an undisclosed sum. Harmonix, incidentally, was behind the first "Guitar Hero" game.

Don't get me wrong, Guitar Hero started it all and really made the music game genre something special...but once Harmonix left...game over.
