Guitar Hero may not be a "hero" anymore

Competition is good, well usually. You would figure competition would lower the prices or raise the quality of some of the games being produced by Electronic Arts (Rock Band) and Activision Blizzard (Guitar Hero). Well not only will The Beatles: Rock Band be priced at $250 for the premium bundle, usually $200, but there is going to be five more Guitar Hero games before the end of the year.

Recently reported on IGN it seems that this year will be at the mercy of Guitar Hero 5, Hard Rock Van Halen, Band Hero, DJ Hero, and the inevitable DS game. If you've given up on the quality of the "Hero" games then at least money is the only problem with EA's music franchise. As Rock Band 3 looms over 2010, 2009 will only see the release of two Rock Band games. Let's hope that the Rock Band release list doesn't eventually look like this.
