According to Billboard.biz, Activision Blizzard has confirmed the development of the Guitar Hero: Van Halen music-based game. It is scheduled for release in the second half of the year and will definitely cover the David Lee Roth era, featuring the band's greatest hits. No specific tracks were listed, but Activision said it will include music from guest bands like Queen, Weezer, Blink-182, The Offspring, Queens of the Stone Age and others.

This is designed to directly compete with the latest announcement of Rock Band: The Beatles. Article here. What a hard choice, the iconic and legendary British band who changed the face of music or the dangerous yet legendary American band who made women change their pants. Right now I am in a Van Halen mood, so I will throw my weigh behind that right now. But I better have a new guitar controller like Eddie's legendary Frankenstein.
