Guitar Hero 5 Set To Release Sept. 1
Activision today revealed the release date for its upcoming Guitar Hero 5. The game will be available Sept. 1—eight days ahead of the Beatles: Rock Band, a competing title from Harmonix. What does the fifth main game in the series add? How about the ability to mess with the

It also adds drop-in/drop-out play and a ton of new music from bands such as the White Stripes, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Gorrilaz, Muse, Coldplay, the Raconteurs and Vampire Weekend.
