Peak Guitar for Guitar Hero/Rock Band
August 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Peak has put out three amazing guitars compatible with both Guitar Hero and Rock band on the PS2® / PS3®. These guitars are full size, completely wood, and look just plain spectacular. I saw these being played on CNBC today and I can’t explain how great they looked.
The Starpex guitar comes in a black “Obsidian”, red “Dead Rose”, and classic “Black Sunburst” (pictured above). The $180 to $190 price tag is a bit hard to swallow… but I sure do want one.
Here are a few bullets from the Peak marketing page:
- Compatible with Guitar Hero™ and Rock Band™!
- High quality 10 - button design for enhanced responsiveness
- Instrument quality wood body, neck and headstock
- High speed 2.4 ghz wireless technology
- Optional cable for wired connectivity (included)
- Easy access starpower / overdrive button
- Improved whammy bar for easier access and durability
- Modular design allows for alternate body styles

Avengers, New and Mighty
February 22, 2007 | 9 Comments
In the wake of Civil War, the Avengers are left split into two teams. These will be the New Avengers and the Mighty Avengers. Little is known about either, especially considering Civil War has not yet completed. However, the cover for Mighty Avengers has been revealed, and the first issue with the new New Avengers is out!
We do know that Brian Michael Bendis will be writing both books. Leinil Yu will be drawing New Avengers and Frank Cho will be drawing Mighty Avengers.
Here’s what the teams are looking like so far:
Mighty Avengers
based entirely off the cover art
- Ms. Marvel - leading the team
- Iron Man - is this Tony Stark? I have my doubts…
- The Sentry
- Ares
- Wonder Man
- Wasp
- Black Widow
New Avengers
- Luke Cage (returning)
- Spider-Man (returning, now in black suit)
- Wolverine (returning)
- Spider-Woman (returning)
- Maya Lopez/Echo (returning, no longer as Ronin)
- Iron Fist - no longer wearing the Daredevil costume and clearly the new money for this group.
- Doctor Strange
- Ronin - not Maya, so who’s Ronin? They imply it is “not quite” Matt Murdock. Could this be Nick Fury? Captain America? Sue Storm? Some other lesser known disenfranchised character?
I find the Mighty Avengers to be the more surprising of the teams. Lots of old characters being brought back to the main stream.
Early indications say that Mighty Avengers will be the more government acknowledged team addressing the massive universe effecting events.
New Avengers are a darker more street level team with a concentration on fighting crime. The art styles do a great job of immediately indicating that distinction as well.
