And as 2009 winds down, the Gods of Plastic Instrument development bring us yet more colored circles/rectangles to eliminate at a rapid pace.

Sure, Guitar Hero 5 came out like a year ago, but who cares! Once upon a time, Starpower Podcast had the brilliant idea of releasing a single episode featuring two separate games, but because both recordings & games are made of hot, sweaty awesomeness we decided to split them into two separate releases. Join Elliott, FrankieB, Rob, John, Andrew (dr00bles), Anthony (memesis), Jordan Dodge and the infamous Chris Vance as we talk about everything awesome that is the next evolution in the Guitar Hero universe.
