"On learning of potential issues with the whammy bar on the Xbox360 guitar, we immediately began extensive testing of both the guitar and the software to isolate any issues with whammy bar functionality and the corresponding causes. Our testing identified a specific software element that may, in certain situations, cause the whammy bar to lose responsiveness. Given that this is a software-driven, an patch is being developed to fix the issue and will arrive as soon as possible via download on Xbox Live. We will confirm soon a target date for this download."
Xboxic tells that the Activision representatives added to Xboxic that the culprit is in code added late in the development cycle, which was designed to counter cheating. While no exact date for the patch is supplied yet, it should be available within 'several weeks' as an auto-update on Xbox Live.
This month's feature takes a look back at the time when zero string guitars saw a boom in popularity.
Jerry from BagoGames says, "It turns out that 2007 was an amazing year for gamers, not only did many franchises begin, some started to get their footing."
It's crazy to think that Uncharted came out so long ago. I replayed the series last year as part of the Nathan Drake Collection, and the game felt brand new again, even after all these years. Such an enduring franchise.
I agree, I played all of them, included the Vita game last year just for funsies and they are amazing!
I could only pick 7 ;) They were hard to pick and MW was barely edged out by Halo 3.
Sirus Gaming's Editor-in-Chief:
"The Playstation 2 system is still considered to be the number 1 best-selling console in the market with 155 million units sold, beating the Nintendo DS to second place with only 154.01 million units sold. With Sony’s legacy console topping the charts, new comers in the gaming community will never overlook what Playstation 2 is and its success.
Now, we go through my list of my personal Top 5 PS2 Games of All-Time"
Nice choices! I would add Final Fantasy X because I am a big fan of the game and the RPG.
If had it as Top 10, FFX is there. :D As well as other good titles like Kingdom Hearts, ICO, and Star Wars Battlefront II. :)

get ready to open it again and put it back the way it was. But seriously, I am glad they are addressing this issue.
Great news... I have the bum guitar but its great to hear that the problem is within the software!
I own two guitars, same model #. One works, the other doesn't.
A patch does not make sense in light of this. If all that is required is a software patch why is there so much success reported by people who crack their guitars and recalibrate the whammy control.
Activison is just doing damage control and buying time on this one
We shall see. If it (the patch) works, no more issues.
If it doesn't, then warranty guitar replacement will be a must for Activision and Harmonix.
Or if that option isn't availiable, there's always the opening option.
