While answering fan mail on the band's official site, Megadeth’s frontman Dave Mustaine hinted at the band’s big plans on the gaming front by saying that he had “high level meetings with the people from Activision and Neversoft”.

Mustaine said that the idea of a Guitar Hero box set is not attractive to him but he mentions a “new idea that they offered [him]” and how “the creative stuff we’re talking about is over-the-moon!” While many will interpret this move as his longstanding wish to outshine Metallica, we must admit that we’re looking forward to seeing just what this is about.

Yours truly must admit that the notion of making a big deal out of the same game with a different band does get boring after a while, but let’s hope Mustaine and the Guitar Hero team will find a way to refresh this genre a bit.
