Run DMC Walks That Way into Guitar Hero: Aerosmith
Well done, Activision. I was sitting on the fence about Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, what with all their ’70s classic on one side, and “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing” on the other. But including Run DMC’s version of “Walk This Way” and the rap group themselves in the game? The scales have tipped into me giving you my money at the end of the month, when the game’s released. Well done indeed!
