Guitar Hero: World Tour adds instruments, downloads, more
Don’t expect the Guitar Hero franchise to stop growing any time soon.

Guitar Hero III is finally out and the Paste staff can't stop moshing with excitement.

In movies, the third installment in a series rarely lives up to the glory of the first. Remember the 3-D version of Jaws, the western themed Back to the Future, and the overly emotional Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man 3?
