Now that the Guitar Hero series had reached the top of the gaming world, all that was left was to watch it fall. And fall, it did. To wrap up our Guitar Hero timeline, Shacknews looks at the final Guitar Hero games and the depths that led to the series' four-year hiatus. Then we look ahead to Guitar Hero Live and whether it can avoid the mistakes of the past.
