Guitar Hero III:

SPB Expansion Pack

Every year there is a video game that rises above all the other games on the market. In previous years we saw games like Grand Theft Auto, Halo, Warcraft and others take the gaming world by storm. The year of 2007 was the year of Guitar Hero III. Like many of you, we also found the lineup of artists enlisted to be rather lackluster in diversity. Below is the Scene Point Blank Expansion Pack: 2007 Edition, which highlights the top songs of 2007 that we'd like to play on Guitar Hero III.
