Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero: March DLC
Next month’s Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero DLC should satisfy would-be rockers of all types, offering an eclectic mix of – oh, there’s totally some Flogging Molly! Sorry, we just had to get that out of our system, because St. Patrick’s Day is next month and because, man, Flogging Molly is totally awesome.
There are four distinct track packs coming next month, featuring OK Go, Blink-182, the aforementioned Molly Floggers and an ’80s track pack — because nothing says March like a dusty old denim jacket with the sleeves cut off and some Night Ranger.

It’s a dim Friday for Guitar Hero Black Sabbath DLC
Were you looking forward to playing some Black Sabbath songs in Guitar Hero 5 this weekend? Of course you were — that sounds awesome. Anyway, it’s not going to happen. (And, it’s certainly not happening for you either, Band Heroes — whoever you are.)
Before the scheduled Thursday release of three tracks from Black Sabbath’s Master of Reality album, Activision announced on its Guitar Hero Facebook page that the DLC wouldn’t make its appointed release date, and added, “We hope to have the content available for download at a later date, so stay tuned!”
We were going to say, maybe the DLC was turned into steel in a great magnetic field, but, unfortunately, Iron Man isn’t one of the songs in the pack. (Although, it would appear we just said it anyway.) We’re checking in with Activision to find out what happened.

Luxoflux shuttered as layoffs hit Activision dev studios, publisher confirms

Reports began circulating this morning about major layoffs at a handful of Activision-owned development studios, affecting as much as half of Radical Entertainment’s staff (Prototype), an undisclosed amount of Neversoft employees (Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk), and the entirety of Luxoflux (Tranformers). An Activision rep confirmed two former studio layoffs to us this afternoon, though a representative didn’t city any official numbers — the rep also told us he could “confirm the closure of Luxoflux.”
The full, significantly more vague, company statement given out to everyone reads: “Activision Publishing continually evaluates its resources to ensure that they are properly matched against its product slate and strategic goals. In 2010, the company’s SKU count will be smaller than in 2009 driven in part, by a decrease in the number of music-based games we will be releasing. As we discussed on our earnings conference call yesterday, we are directing our resources against the largest and most profitable business segments, and as part of this initiative, we are realigning our resources to better reflect our slate and the market opportunities. At the same time, we are increasing our digital/online capabilities as we expect that digital/online will continue to become a more meaningful part of our business model in the years ahead.”
