Since the introduction of Rock Band, the Guitar Hero franchise has undergone somewhat of an identity crisis. It split into the family-friendly Band Hero, DJ Hero, and whatever other kinds of Hero they could think of. Now, they’re claiming they are getting back to the rock that brought them this far, but with a seemingly very odd twist. Check out the first teaser trailer, and 35 known tracks for the game under the cut.

OK, so some of those songs aren’t bad, but Night Ranger? I just don’t think of some of those bands when I think of “bringing back the ROCK”.
People who make shooter montage videos and post them on YouTube are going to go insane over the inclusion of Drowning Pool’s “Bodies”.
