Well, we told you so, Activision. Just as they have slowly beaten the Tony Hawk franchise to death, Activision has literally driven Guitar Hero into the ground. It was bound to happen eventually. I guess no one hired an economist to tell him how saturation affects the market.

So, I was listening to my favorite radio show — I admit, it was NPR’s Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me — and one of the bumper songs between rounds struck me as a perfect addition to Rock Band 3, Styx’s “Mr. Roboto.” Seriously, with that keyboard line, the vocal harmonies, the kickass drums?
