Are you still thrilled that you decided to buy Guitar Hero instead of Rock Band? You are? Probably best to move on then. We don't want to break your heart.

Because, while Rock Band is bringing out a new edition based on the legendary songs of The Beatles this year, full of varied, seminal songs, Guitar Hero is bringing out a game about Metallica. Yes. Metallica. So basically we're in for a row of 50 identical bad songs performed by a bunch of humourless nimrods for people who don't really like music. Thanks, Guitar Hero. And if our Wii Guitar Hero instruments aren't compatible with the Rock Band Beatles game, we're going to shoot ourselves in the face.
