Guitar Hero was one of the best innovations to come to the video game console in a long time. It created a whole new set of gamers who before never picked up a video game console controller. From drunken college chicks to paralegals, everyone loves to lose themselves in the land of Rock. The only problem I saw with the Guitar Hero series was the limited song choice. There is always a bunch of songs to choose from but for me there were never enough hits. Some of the songs are classics and others felt like filler.

The Guitar Hero developers must have been hearing a lot these complaints because the next installment is called Smash Hits. The name says it all. There will be over 40 favorite songs from previous Guitar Hero titles all rolled up into one fantastic disc. Guitar Hero: Smash Hits will hit the market this summer on June 16, so we have a few months to practice. I was not able to find out if any of the songs were going to be exclusive to the Nintendo console title but I’ll assume there will.
