Activision has released information regarding the next Guitar Hero game.  I use the term game lightly because I honestly feel this would make for better downloadable content than it would an entire stand-alone game.  It will no doubtedly come packed with another guitar or perhaps an actual bass.

Like many of you, I already have Guitar Hero II, III and even Rock Band.  I think I’m passing on this one.  I like "Dream On" alright but I wouldn’t pay $20 for a greatest hits collection let alone $60 for a regular old track list.  Some of you already know it isn’t always the best music that makes it through to these games.

Speaking of "Dream On."  As promotion for this game, or to survey public interest, that song will be available for download THIS weekend ONLY!  So don’t miss it.  I have missed most of the temporarily free XBox Live downloads because I have either been too busy to spend my time crawling the boards or just couldn’t find the Official announcements buried in the mass gumbo of Microsoft advertisements on the for-charge online gaming service.

But I’ll save that rant for another day.

Best Buy is holding tournaments starting tomorrow!

The grand prize is "a crystal-coated Wii with a design from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a home theater system from Best Buy, and a copy of the game." Second, third, and fourth place finishers will win a Wii with an extra remote and a copy of the game as well as a $1,000, $500, and $250 Best Buy card, respectively. According to arstechnica, everyone who participates in the tournament will receive a $10 Best Buy gift card.
