Activision eyes 'Guitar Hero' TV series, tour


May 07, 2009 The worldwide hit video game "Guitar Hero" could become a reality TV show and/or a real-life concert tour, people familiar with the discussions said Thursday. "Hero" is from Activision Blizzard, a leading video game publisher that is looking to turn some of its games into TV and film properties. Activision's cross-platform interests don't end at "Hero" either; discussions are under way to turn the "World of Warcraft" and "Call of Duty" video games into movies.
