"I read the news today, oh boy..."

Life's in an uproar and it's sometimes hard to get up early to workout. The good thing is playing on some of the higher levels on hard and some of the lower levels on expert gives you nearly as good a workout as rocking out.

Heard some recent news about the upcoming Guitar Hero titles.

Several hours ago Nintendic reported more specific tracklist information for the Wii on Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. Among others, it includes Lenny Kravitz, The Clash, The Black Crowes, and Run-D.M.C. Personally, I can't wait to play "Dream On".

There's been more info out on Guitar Hero: World Tour in the last few days, too. I'm not sure who first reported this, but I saw on Games Are Fun, that the full set will set you back $190 (or $170 for PS2). They also price just the game ($60 or $50) and the game plus guitar ($100). It's out on October 27 - is that old news?

Also saw a video of Tony Hawk playing the new set with Paula Abdul there to judge (weird - article here). Anyway, I don't know if that's the new guitar, but it doesn't seem to be much different except for the directional pad in the corner. Not sure what the "secret new functionality" is. We'll see.
