The End of an Era

Activision has now officially announced that they will disband the Guitar Hero series. Apparently, due to a decline in its popularity, it no longer warrants the costs for music licenses and hardware manufacturing. A new game scheduled to be released in 2011 has bee scrapped.

However, there might be hope for fans of the games yet as experts feel relatively optimistic about a revival - possibly on the next generation of video game consoles.

To a certain extent I am glad. I  mean the series jumped the shark a long time ago and the quality of the song selection has been going downhill ever since 'World Tour'.
