Something IS wrong in the marketing strategy of Activision, by releasing a large ammount of products all aimed at the same market, they will reduce the sales for each title, making the profit for each "bought" song lower. At least I think that's what will happen.

They're Tony Hawk-ing the series. Ugh. Why did the title have to fall into their hands...?

In defense to the Tony Hawk games, they're actually really creative, and a lot of fun. Tony Hawk's Underground was just plain awesome, Underground 2 was great, and American Wasteland was the perfect follow up. I have the aforementioned and Pro Skater 3 as well.  :)

Struth! I wish they made that many Zelda games a year!  :-X Of course, they probably wouldn't be as good.

Well, I wish they had that many Zelda games in a year, and that all of them were at least good, and at least three were great.

You're welcome, Vaati.  :)

Underground 1 and 2 were good, THAW was okay, but 4 was hands down the best ever

And GH van halen? why don't they all just take us to the hospital now for carpal tunnel?

I guess it'll have some sort of way of detecting the amount of spin, and tell you how much to...but how can it be an entertaining song at all?

I think it's called ultimate spin (or some crap I read it in GI) And that's not the real "Peripheral" It's a turntable with 5 things each a diff color.

It looks stupid...

I think its pretty cool. Have you seen the guy that used trip lasers to make a Harp controller for Guitar Hero?
