Guitar Hero fans who find themselves with nothing to do this weekend, should head down to the fifth Cybersonica Festival taking place in London's Science Museum. "Usually, this event is attended by musicians, DJs, audiovisualisers and creative software developers," says Leo Tan the game's UK PR chap, "but this year sees a new take on the festival's role, as Josh Randall, Creative Director of Guitar Hero developer Harmonix, gives a keynote lecture on his experiences with making games based around musical performance."
Josh will chat about the development of music games such as Frequency, Amplitude, Karaoke Stage, and Guitar Hero, and about how, "new interfaces and controllers are changing the way we interact with our music and TVs".
The event will also see the UK premiere of Guitar Hero II, after the sequel's E3 showing. The game features 55 new tracks including re-interpretations of such riffing classics as 'You Really Got Me' and 'War Pigs'. I'm not sure the rest of the list has been finalised yet so I'm putting in a request for 'Kennedy' by Wedding Present. Do you have a similarly unlikely and nostalgic guitar-based favourite you'd like to see in the game?
