A typical rock-and-roll band usually consists of two guitarists, a singer, and a drummer. Activision has announced that Guitar Hero 5 will allow you to create your own band. The video game will also have the ability to play the entire song lists, so you don’t have to unlock them. Stay tuned for more updates. [DigitalBattle]

It seems that Activision will release their famous video games into a TV series. The Hollywood Reporter said that the company have set up deals for a World of Warcraft and a Call of Duty movies. However, the CEO of Activision Blizzard refused to comment to the Hollywood Reporter on either Warcraft or Call of Duty. I hope this rumor is true, because I am a big fan of the World of Warcraft and Call of Duty. [Newlaunches]

Activision has announced a new Call of Duty: World at War map pack set to hit this March. Included in the pack are four all new levels, including Nightfire, Station, Knee deep, and Verrückt (which is the zombie map). [Activision]

Here is a trailer of Activision’s Quantum of Solace. Its graphic is cool. This video game is using the same engine as in Call on Duty 4, so it should look decent and smooth. [Kotaku] More

Supposedly, Activision is putting legal pressure on Sony to keep them from releasing the patch that was supposed to release last week that allows the Gibson Les Paul Guitar Controller for Guitar Hero III for PS3 to function with Rock Band. This move will unlikely be any help for them sell more copies of Guitar Hero III, rather it might just boost Rock Band peripheral sales, namely the Fender Stratocaster controllers for Rock Band. Rock Band sells for $170, and it seems like it’s the better of the two games anyway.
