   Well, would you look at that, seems like Activision kissed and made up with the Guitar Hero series' original developers, Harmonix. Just a few months ago, the publisher filed suit against some of the GH devs; and even after Harmonix teamed up with Electronic Arts (a.k.a. the enemy) for a whole new music game called Rock Band, they're still working with Activision on another Guitar Hero game. As previously rumoured some time ago, their new project is indeed focused on the music of the '80s, and targeted for an exclusive PlayStation 2 launch this summer.

   Titled Guitar Hero: Rocks the 80s, the game promises to feature visually stunning retro rock venues and hipster characters, unlockable guitars, intense gameplay modes, and 30 new songs to experience "the ultimate rock star fantasy". So far Activision revealed the following seven "finger-melting tracks" included in Rock the 80s:
- I Wanna Rock (by Twisted Sister)
- I Ran (by Flock of Seagulls)
- Round and Round (as made famous by Ratt)
- I Want Candy (as made famous by Bow Wow Wow)
- Metal Health (as made famous by Quiet Riot)
- Holy Diver (as made famous by Dio)
- Heat Of The Moment (as made famous by Asia)
   Dusty Welch, head of publishing at Activision-owned RedOctane also hinted they would continue to "delve deeper into the history of rock, (...) to offer a fresh experience and even more explosive tracks with the Guitar Hero franchise". So there's still hope for a Guitar Hero rocking the '70s.
