  • Guitar Rock Tour

    Guitar Hero was featured recently as being one of the fastest selling gaming franchises in US history, and it’s clear why. Instead of now playing air guitar to yourself, you can do it on a physical guitar – not to mention actually being able to hear what your playing. Just last Friday, World Tour hit worldwide, bringing with it a physical drum set and mic retailing at £149.99.
