Xbox Live gold members can head over to the game demos section and download a free playable demo of Band Hero, the latest offering in the Guitar Hero Family.

Band Hero is built using the same basic engine as Guitar Hero 5, the look and feel of the game is very similar. The big differences between the two games is the target audience, Band hero caters for a more diverse audience, it is easier to pick up and play than some Guitar Hero titles and the music is more mainstream with more pop hits including tracks like Walking On Sunshine (Katrina & The Waves) which is included along with two other decent tracks in the demo version.

Don't think that just because the playlist is not entirely Iron Maiden, Metallica and Megadeath, it is a lame game for kids, yes this will be easier for younger players to get into, but it does not mean that the game will be 'beneath' any of your more experienced players. The playlist included in the console version goes like this:

- 3 Doors Down - "When I'm Gone"
- The Airborne Toxic Event - "Gasoline"
- The All American Rejects - "Dirty Little Secret"
- Alphabeat - "Fascination"
- Aly and AJ - "Like Whoa"

- Village People - "YMCA"
- Yellowcard - "Ocean Avenue"

There are some great songs in there even if they are not ear-bleeding guitar solo tracks, they will make a great playlist at any party and should go someway to combining the (and this is not a sexist view just personal experience) mainly female played Singstar, and mainly male played Guitar Hero. Just image finding a game that you and your girlfriend can enjoy at the same time - what a novelty!

One of the most welcome bits of news included in this Band Hero announcement is the inclusion of the song import function. As you can transfer tracks from GHWT to GH5, you can also transfer the GHWT songs and GH5 songs into Band Hero or vice versa.

In conclusion, this should be a great game and a welcome addition to your now towering pile of Guitar Hero titles.

We wrote an article a while ago with a great deal of help from one of our visitors showing you how you can use your e-drums as a Guitar Hero Game Controller. This was a very popular article with lots of interest.

Now the cleaver guys over at pctutorialsonline.net have written the software and created some great tutorial videos showing how to connect your Guitar Hero World Tour drums to the PC and use them like a real professional e-drum kit. So now we have the best of both worlds, whatever skins you own can be used for gaming and creating music!

I mentioned a while ago that I would create a how to video on using your Guitar Hero World Tour Drum kit on your PC. Thanks to Magnus’ PS360MIDI Drummer software, the ability to use the GH:WT drum kit on PC became possible. To think that you could turn a gaming controller into a high quality midi controller is amazing. Something like a Yamaha DTXpress costs $800 AU + .

I realize you can’t compare the GT:WT drum kit to fully decked electronic drum kit, but for less than $150 , the Guitar Hero World Tour Drum Kit does a pretty awesome job. Watch the videos below on how to setup your Guitar Hero World Tour Drum Kit on PC

I encourage you all to pop over and have a look at what they have created, it is quite amazing!
