At this year's DigitalLife conference, we had the chance to take a peek at a Guitar Hero III demo for the Xbox 360. RedOctane had a booth set up alongside a small exhibit set up by the Gibson Guitar Company, offering up real guitars for people to play with. But for those of us concerned with them dang vidjagames, the RedOctane booth had around ten - give or take - stations set up with Xbox 360s and single Gibson X-Plorer guitars. That's right - on Day One of DigitalLife, neither co-op play nor the much-vaunted Battle Mode was on display. Perhaps this will change tomorrow.

With that disappointment out of the way, we still had ten songs to fool around with. The demo consisted of the following songs (*** = the ones we played):

The Metal / Tenacious D ***
Hit Me With Your Best Shot / Pat Benatar
Even Flow / Pearl Jam
Rock You Like A Hurricane / The Scorpions ***
Avalancha / Heroes del Silencio ***
Lay Down / Priestess
Closer / Lacuna Coil
Take This Life / In Flames ***
Hier Kommt Alex / Die Toten Hosen
