Granted, guitar hero was pretty recent in game years, but this is still a big part of my childhood, recent or not. Released in 2005 by Activision, RedOctane and Harmonix, Guitar Hero took the world by storm with this new type of gaming. The guitar shaped controller with the green, red, yellow, blue, and orange buttons soon became a staple to anyone who truly claimed themselves to be Guitar Heros. In my opinion, I'm pretty freaking amazing at the game itself. I've beaten Riley quite a few times as well, but then again, I could never get the ultimate bragging rights of earning 100% on Dragon Force's "Through the Fire and Flames", but I was good.
The game itself is very simple, your character (mine was always Johnny) and their band try and become rock legends by mastering different songs at different venues. I remember playing "Bark At The Moon" with my best friend over and over on Expert when I was like ten or nine thinking I was the bomb. The Guitar Hero series continued till about February 2011 when Activision spread the word that the game we knew and loved was done, but recently clarified that they are on hiatus for 2011 which leads many hopefuls like myself that they'll continue to produce new games after the let down that was Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock (Sorry if you liked it, but personally, I hated it.)
Thats why Guitar Hero earned itself #7 on my spot of Top Ten Childhood Games.
