World of Warcraft meets Guitar Hero III

World of Warcraft meets Guitar Hero III

Blizzard seems to be dominating industry news today with rumors of a Diablo III announcement (again) and new security measures for its MMO World of Warcraft.

Team Xbox announced as of June 26 (that would be today), gamers can download a free World of Warcraft track for Guitar Hero III, titled "I am Murloc."  The song debuted a few years back at BlizzCon 2005, at the Anaheim convention center in California, and was performed by Blizzard's house band, Level 70 Elite Tauren Chieftain.  Players can see their in-game incarnates, The Tauren Chieftains, on a balcony in Silvermoon City, and I am not ashamed to say that I did.

This WoW-meets-GH content will be available for download through both Xbox LIVE Marketplace and the PlayStationStore, depending on your console of choice.

Having merged with Activision just last year to form Activision Blizzard, this latest tidbit shouldn't come as a huge surprise.  If I owned Guitar Hero III, I would totally check into this.  Sadly, I was never born to rock.
