Guitar Hero for the iPhone Hits The App Store

Millions of people were following WWDC news this morning as Steve Jobs took the stage to announce his shiny new plaything, but as always, Steve introduced much more than a new phone. One of the announcements from this morning was Guitar Hero for the iPhone.

My usual Guitar Hero cynicism aside, I’m not so sure this will work as well as Activision and Apple hope it will. Mobile rhythm games have always had a history of being boring, cramped, and frankly, lame. Rock Band for the iPhone was the last one to try such a thing, and it didn’t work out too well, either. But I’ll stay positive! I just plucked down $3 for this game off of the App Store, and with any luck, I’ll get back with my impressions soon enough. The game comes with six songs, but you can download tracks in-app, in a manner similar to the console versions of Guitar Hero.

DJ Hero 2: DJ Guetta Confirms His Work On Activision Sequel

Dustin Davis — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 06:08:01 +0000

Well, in somewhat surprising news, it looks like Activation’s DJ Hero will be getting a sequel despite the poor sales of the original game. DJ Guetta, one of the DJ’s who worked on some DLC for the original game has confirmed he will be working on the sequel.

In the past, Dan Rosensweig, the CEO of Guitar Hero, hinted on the creation of more DJ Hero titles — and it now looks like his subtle hints are coming to fruition. There is also rumor that the untitled DJ Hero sequel will hit store shelves as early as October 2010, however no official release date has been scheduled as of yet.

So it looks like those of us who can afford it can expect to light up the virtual dance floors with our artificial turntables once again in the near future.
