After an Easter weekend which saw my family play nearly 4 hours of Guitar Hero, I’m ecstatic to hear the official announcement of Guitar Hero II:

“Guitar Hero has proved phenomenally successful! Guitar Hero veterans will be able to plug in their Guitar Hero SG Controllers and rock GH II straight out of the box,” said Kelly Sumner, CEO of RedOctane. “We will really push the envelope with Guitar Hero II. Despite the fact there are many months until release, we’re already implementing exciting features and innovations. This fall we’re going to rock everyone’s world all over again.”

RAWK!

Check out my Guitar Hero II setlist to feed the beast in anticipation of the sequel’s release.

Also, I think we should have an APWBWGTTD party at someone’s residence where we drink and play games *cough* Guitar Hero *cough*
