Old news really. Guitar Hero, DJ Hero, True Crime Hong Kong, Tony Hawks are the ones Activision has laid to rest, couple this with the sale of the Harmonix name following the split from MTV a few weeks back and the music genre is well and truly gone as far as games are concerned. It also leaves me wondering what Neversoft will work on next after all for recent years (since GH3) they've made nothing I've noticed apart from Guitar Hero and Tony Hawks.

I'm not too surprised, but I am kinda miffed that the pro guitar will never make it to shelves in the UK for Rock Band 3, I know Rock Band 3's pro instrument series was rediculously expensive but I also would've appreciated that more than another plastic guitar periphial which won't get used too often sitting by my TV. Guitar Hero tried to do so many bad decisions it was surreal, they went from hardcore elite gamerism to casual casual easy thing and then for the "swan song" as it turns out with Warriors of Rock they went back to hardcore elite gamers and it kinda didn't wash through everyone was just fed up. DJ Hero was just a side casualty, the games have never sold as well as GH series and without the main GH series there just isn't a market

Tony Hawks, to be expected, frankly Shred and Ride were complete wastes of time I guess Activision pushing the periphial front was to blame partially but I don't excuse Neversoft for the smurf up of allowing Activision to do so. Skate has long since been out classing the Tony Hawks franchise game for game gimmicks couldn't have changed this.

True Crime Apparently was pulled because Activision looked at it long and hard and said "frankly this just isn't worth a damn" and pulled the plug. I'm kinda glad they pulled the plug prior to release rather than release another mediocre game but smurf it, don't let mediocre game series get up to there 4th sequel or 3rd sequel in this late stage of development before pulling them.
