Gamer Culture, Guitar Hero, Rock Band
R.I.P. Guitar?
Rest in peace, guitar. Fabled tool of musical gods, stringed wonder upon which the craft of Carlos Santana, Jack Black, and countless others was plied, the end is nigh. You have been brought low by the bane of true musicians everywhere, that accursed Guitar Hero and its estranged cousin, Rock Band. Or have you? Has the music or rhythm game genre truly rendered you inert and unloved?
Avid guitar hero fans can now rock out whenever, wherever. Thanks to Guitar Hero Mobile, players rejoice to the easy and convenient access of rocking out on ‘the go.’ As of mid-June, Guitar Hero III Mobile proudly hit the one million downloads mark, successfully reaching the top of the sales charts. With an average of 250, 000 songs played per day, it’s clear that the nation can’t get enough of the greatest 80s and 90s classic rock.
