GUITAR HERO ENCORE: ROCKS THE ’80s

I don’t know how on earth we missed this, but apparently Activision has announced that there will be an a new Guitar Hero title out this summer called Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s, that will, obviously, be an ’80s themed version of the hit game. According to GameSpot, the game should see a release this summer and will be the last in the series to be developed by the now MTV-owned Harmonix. Confirmed songs in the game so far are as follows:

ASIA – “Heat Of The Moment”

BOW WOW WOW – “I Want Candy”
DIO – “Holy Diver”
EDDIE MONEY – “Shaken”
EXTREME – “Play With Me”
FASTER PUSSYCAT – “Bathroom Wall”

POISON – “Nothing But A Good Time”
QUIET RIOT – “Metal Health”
RATT – “Round And Round”
SKID ROW – “18 And Life”

In other news, Axl and I will not be leaving our apartments for approximately two months after the release of this game.
