Guitar Hero Gets Queen and Jimmy Hendrix Tracks This Month

Music games are becoming one of the most sure-fire ways to make money in these tough financial times. They guarantee a lot of entertainment for a relatively small amount of money and generate big profits due to the fact that developers can bring new tracks to the games via DLC (Downloadable Content).

As such, companies such as Activision or Harmonix are pumping out more and more tracks each week in an effort to get players to start rocking out in their games. As Rock Band has already received news about the DLC tracks that will arrive this week, Activision has also detailed the tracks that will make their way to its Guitar Hero: World Tour title.

And it seems that spring is a great time to rock out, as the company revealed that the second Jimmy Hendrix pack, along with songs from legendary band Queen and other few groups, would all make their appearance in the Guitar Hero section from the Xbox Live Marketplace, PlayStation Store and Wii Channel. Here's the complete tracklist with the dates when they will be available:

March 5 - European Track Pack 3
