Guitar Hero: Van Halen confirmation? photo

Van Halen is a rock band. Guitar Hero is a game that has rock bands in it. The two can thus go together, and when two things can go together and make money, Activision is there. Guitar Hero: Van Halen hasn't really been a well kept secret, but it hasn't been officially announced yet either.

That is where the always early ratings boards come in it seems. This time it's a German one revealing that the game does indeed exist and has been filed. The Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle (USK) is reporting that it has rated the game for the 360 and the PS3. The strange thing is that the game is titled Guitar Hero Headlining Van Halen, which is a switch from the traditional colon sporting title. Maybe that's just how Germany rolls.

If you don't fully trust the Germans how about a little internet image that a source sent into us. Looks like Van Halen to me, does it not?

I'll play it for the blistering Eddie Van Halen solos alone. I'm thirsty for more after the challenge of GH Metallica on Expert Guitar

When will this franchise DIE?! Do I have to kill every musician in the world just so that there will be no more food for Guitar Hero to consume, and that it could starve and die?!

Activision sure knows how to milk a series and continue to make money off of it. I still dislike them for that but if this has "Panama" and "Runnin' With The Devil," I'm going to feel really dirty about myself.

Do they have to make a new game for every band? Just add DLC.

First Metallica, now Van Halen? Is nothing sacred?

Nothing is sacred to Activision. The guitar Hero franchise will be milked into the ground. They will do this until morons stop buying this shit.

HEY MORONS, PLEASE, STOP BUYING THIS SHIT!!!!!
