Runtime: 61 Minutes
We look back at Guitar Hero, released for the PS2 in November of 2005. While doing so, we talk about the history of its creative studios, both RedOctane and Harmonix. We excitedly share our own experiences with Guitar Hero, before sharing a counter-opinion from those who aren't in love with the game. Finally, Dave talks about the legacy of the game and its impact on both video games and music. Join us on the center stage for a star-powered trip down Memory Card Lane.
