UPDATE - 6/3@2:22PM: I forgot to mention that it was recently announced that Rush will also be one of the featured artists on Guitar Hero 5 which is due out in September, although the specific song has not been revealed. Thanks to Jim for the heads up.

Activision will be releasing the latest addition to their Guitar Hero video game series - Guitar Hero Smash Hits - this coming Tuesday, June 16th. The game will feature 48 songs taken from five previous Guitar Hero releases, expanding them to be based on master track recordings and including support for full band play (first introduced in Guitar Hero World Tour). Rush's YYZ (first included on Guitar Hero 2) will be one of the 48 featured tracks. For more information on the game you can visit the website at this link, and to pre-order your copy go here. Thanks to RushFanForever for the heads up.

Rush continues to be prominently featured in music video games lately. The Classic Rock Track Pack version of the Rock Band video game was released last week and includes 2 Rush songs; Closer to the Heart and Red Barchetta. And this coming Tuesday, June 9th Rock Band Unplugged will be released which features The Trees (also featured on Rock Band 2).
