You Rock Guitar Brings Your Gaming to Life
OK, so how many times have you bragged to a group of friends that you beat your all-time high score on Guitar Hero after a monster jam session, only to be blasted for not learning to play a "real" instrument?

Guitar Hero: Van Halen Expansion Pack Hits Stores Today
Although my family usually indulges in a rousing game of Wii bowling during get togethers, after Thanksgiving dinner this year, I decided to break out the Guitar Hero to see if my relatives would be down to rock out.

However, I'm sure they'd know a few tunes from the latest release.
Christina Applegate Gets a Migraine From Playing Guitar Hero
This week I caught Samantha Who star Christina Applegate on The Jay Leno Show, and she shared a little geeky secret about herself — she's a recovering Guitar Hero addict! Not only did she admit to using the game to kill time on the set of Samantha Who, but she also got an ocular migraine from "playing too many songs in a row." When Jay asked if her boyfriend (who is a professional guitar player) is impressed with her GH-playing talents, she responded by saying: "It's just pressing buttons, it's not a skill, it's just coordination."

The new GH will feature a new guitar and the ability to import old Guitar Hero songs, and it will support four players for simultaneous playing.
New Rocking Out Uniform: Guitar Hero T-Shirt
Generally, when I'm getting ready to "shred" on Guitar Hero, I just wear something that won't get in the way of using the whammy bar (though one day, I'm going to dress up as Casey Lynch if I can amass that much leather).
Now I may have to throw on this Ryde Guitar Hero Tee ($24).
The tee, which is also available in black and white, is good for rocking inside and showing your love on the street.
