| Third-Party Guitar Hero Controller Sucks Like a Hurricane
Our ugly yet do-able distant relations over at Kotaku have a hands-on with the Shredder, a third-party Guitar Hero controller. While they originally championed the device, a disheartened reader told them that it was actually a hunk of garbage. They do not need to be pushed down as hard as the original, making hammer-ons and pull offs feel more natural. My biggest gripes about this controller are the tilt sensor and the select button. The tilt sensor is now a shake sensor. You have the shake the controller to enable star power. Big deal? Probably not, but maybe you could just get the real controller and save yourself a shaking bad time. – John Biggs Third Party Guitar Hero Controller Does NOT Shred [Kotaku] .
Konami ready to rock? ( News )
Konami has registered the trademark "Guitar Revolution" with the US Patent & Trademark Office - although it refuses to be drawn on why. Filed on June 29th, the trademark relates to game software, but also peripherals that sound a lot like the ones used by critical darling Guitar Hero, along with arcade machines and so on. Obviously "Guitar Revolution" fits in rather snugly with Konami's other musical titles - Dance Dance Revolution (known as Dancing Stage in Europe) and Karaoke Revolution. .
