Titles such as Dance Dance Revolution, Space Channel 5, and Rez would see obsessive play for hours at a time. When Guitar Hero launched in 2005 Ill admit to feeling incredibly jealous. Here was a product pandering to the mainstream and seeing huge success, unlike many of my more obscure favorites. Heck, I was mad for Bemani -- a division of Konami dedicated exclusively to the development of rhythm games -- that Harmonix effectively repurposed the Guitar Freaks concept! This resentment didnt last long. All it took was my sister sharing her plastic guitar with me to realize just how fantastic Guitar Hero was. Instead of weekend DDR sessions my free time became consumed with rocking that toy-like guitar peripheral. My affection for the series continued until Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock in 2010, and it appears the general populace felt the same."
