You would think that such a shallow genre of games would eventually burn itself out, but DDR is in the same vien and it's been around for a decade or so.

My wife and I played the hell outta GH2 and 3. It's still fun every once and awhile, but I don't feel the need to keep buying updates. I can't see us buying another GH/RB kinda game.

I don't know what they are doing. Its so confusing. :?

They are publishing some really good games at the moment (Aliens vs predator, Bayonetta, conduit, etc) and for some reason they are officially licensing 3 new retro hardware units (retrogen, firebox, and the portable plug and play megadrive). So I really have no clue on what they are planning on doing. Its really up in the air at this point.

I don't have much hope for anything on 9/9/09. As we have previously discussed, Sega doesn't care about the DC anymore and will probably give 9/9/09 no attention for a special announcement.

Guitar hero should be outlawed and the creators thrown in a swamp. :x

Those games are a great legend that will last a lunch time!
