Also: Guitar Hero: Van Halen Is Happening

One more thing...

Halen, bro! Halen! Woooo!
Halen, bro! Halen! Woooo!
For whatever reason, this didn't make it into this morning's press release about DJ Hero, Guitar Hero 5, and Band Hero. But Activision has been going around this morning, confirming Guitar Hero: Van Halen's existence. Finally.

The game's been a sort of open secret for awhile now, but now we've got some actual details. The game will contain a bunch of Van Halen songs, and like the other band-specific GH games, it will also feature songs from other artists. Confirmed acts so far include Queen, Weezer, blink-182, Queens of the Stone Age, and The Offspring.

Because when I think of Van Halen, I think of blink-182. They're pretty much the same band, really. Well, whatever, as long as Panama is in it, it'll be fine.

Worried Sammy Hagar haters will be pleased to know that an Activision rep told Joystiq that the game "is definitely Van Halen, not Van Hagar." The game will be released in the back half of this year.
