-Square Enix takes over Eidos. Final Deus Ex Fantasy Raider XVII soon to be announced.
-Despite a lack of DRM, Demigod is still hurt by massive piracy. Does this disprove the theory, or is it a fluke of early release date horror?

The novelty of Guitar Hero created a whole new group of gamers where DDR hadn't, and the band set up introduced by Rock Band and carried forward by Guitar Hero kept things cooking for a long time. But is this genre on its last legs? Is it enough to just release new songs, or whole new expansions based around one band (Metallica, Aerosmith, Beatles)? Will cute themes keep things fresh (Lego Rock Band)? Do we really want new peripherals that cost us almost another game (Scratch, DJ Hero)? Everyone is looking for the answer to keep this gravy train rolling down the tracks, but we'll have to see in anyone has the answer. More than anything, we need in an innovation in gameplay, not in its presentation.
