Guitar hero has been one of the most popular franchises for game consoles, and now we can play it on Android, but does it make sense. Guitar Hero is about holding a guitar or playing the drums, and tapping a phone just doesn't cut it.

Guitar Hero 5 is featured today on Amazon as the free app of the day. It is regularly $7.99m, and I am not sure how they could get that price because the UI is not very good. The game play itself it decent, but the menus are horrible. Check it out yourself in our hands on look.

Robert lives in upstate New York where he was born and raised. Technology was always his passion. His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
