This has certainly been a week of lists. We had our usual Gone Gold and Shipping Out lists (okay, they were one game each this week), but we also had an absolutely epic list of SingStar songs for four new games and the full Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe roster going up too.


Well, now it's time for another list: the full suite of tracks that will ship day and date with Guitar Hero World Tour. Before we get to that, though, a bit of catch-up. First, Activision announced that Ted Nugent (yes, The Nuge himself) will appear in GHWT as a duel character and in his own "Stranglehold" track from '75, and there was the news that Chris Chike, spokesman for The Ant Commandos and Guinness world record holder for the single-song score in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.

"Chris is an amazing talent," gushed Raymond Yow, TAC'S COO. "Not only has he been assisting The Ant Commandos with the design of our new TAC guitar controller which will be launched later this year, but he has also successfully regained his World Record Title-and all while he was on summer vacation."

Furiously clicking buttons on a plastic guitar are all well and good (hey, none of us are in the Guiness Book of World Records, so he's got something on us), but we're more interested in banging on some plastic drums, thank you very much, and now we finally know what songs we'll be doing it to in Guitar Hero World Tour.
