Well after five years and many, many games, the Guitar Hero franchise is officially being discontinued by Activision. Whether or not this effects DJ Hero I'm not sure, but let us just hope that it doesn't follow the same path.

I can remember the first time Guitar Hero came out. It was the ultimate party game that attracted a large crowd and brought about some really good soundtracks. The first game I ever played in the series was the sequel Guitar Hero 2, which I found to be better than the first game. Guitar Hero 3 came out and it too was a blast. The last two games in the series I played were "Guitar Hero: World Tour" and "Guitar Hero: Metallica" (my favorite). And since then the series just began to do nothing but bring in decreased sales and decreased popularity. Guitar Hero: Van Halen proved to be a major blow. Finally Activision made the decision to discontinue the rest of the series.

So Rest In Peace Guitar Hero. May it be remembered for the impact it created with its influence of living room rock and loud plastic guitar-shaped controllers.
