Guitar Hero: Dads who are ready to unleash their inner rock stars can jam to monster rock hits with Guitar Hero Smash Hits.

Players can tour a selection of eight new venues from around the world as they rip up any of the greatest hits, including classics from Twisted Sister, Poison, Queen, Alice in Chains, Rage Against The Machine, Heart, and The Police. For the first time ever, rockers both young and old can strum, drum and belt out some of their favorite Guitar Hero tunes on all major gaming consoles as they jam along to updated note tracks for guitar and bass and all-new gameplay for the drum controller and microphone.

Battle of the Ages: With fans spanning all ages, the legendary Transformers series brings together both enthusiasts of the original 1980's animated series and followers of the recent Michael Bay films.
