Whether they call it Greatest Hits or Smash Hits matters not to me, it’s still borderline fraudulent in my book. I stand by my statement about not paying twice for content. Anyway, here is the full list of songs that Activision is hoping you will buy again in their upcoming game which the PR companies can’t seem to agree on the proper name. Guitar Hero Greatest Smash Hits or whatever.

Let’s just call it Guitar Hero Greatest Sucker Punch shall we? I wish it would be released already so we can stop talking about it.

Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) today revealed the highly-anticipated 48-song set list for Guitar Hero Greatest Hits, the quintessential Guitar Hero game that allows players to join together and rock to the most fun-to-play songs, all available as master tracks. Players will fall in love with their favourite Guitar Hero music all over again as they rock to anthems from Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero II, Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s and Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, and enjoy them for the first time as a full band experience with updated note tracks for guitar and bass, as well as entirely new gameplay for the drum kit controller and microphone.
