Music pattern-matching games like Guitar Hero owe a lot to the early electronic games of the 1970s like Simon and Merlin…. Now Mattel is back with a brand new music game which feels like a modern homage to the classics.

Instead of pushing buttons like the old games, LOOPZ

Activision has a real obsession with heroes… at least, the musical kind. They’ve just filed a trademark for Drum Hero. But can’t we pound on plastic drums already…? In several different ways? I guess it really needs its own brand. Of course, a new trademark doesn’t mean the

Forget all those plastic instruments and the problem of strumming or drumming or prancing around with a microphone–it’s time to get ready for the next iteration with DJ Hero…, Activision Blizzard’s new franchise, due out at the end of this month. And as though the very sight of the

It sounded like something from a Penny Arcade panel, but in reality, it’s the newest Rock Band game: LEGO Rock Band, complete with minifig musicians with blocky little instruments. The toyed-up version is due this holiday season, not long after The Beatles: Rock Band….
