    You might think that today's release of Guitar Hero 2 marks the official start of the race to master the game's new songs. But that would be naive. The real battle for Guitar Hero perfection started when the demo was released to the general public in Official Playstation Magazine issue 110. In honor of the official release of the game, we've scrounged up some highly-variable-quality videos showing off some people who are already on their way to true Guitar Heroism.

    Last month, RedOctane teased visitors to the Guitar Hero MySpace page with a graphic cryptically promoting something called G.H.O.U.L. Earlier this week, they revealed the project as the Guitar Hero Organized Underground League, a set of sponsored tournaments where you provide the organization and promotion and RedOctane provides the banners and prizes.We were totally stoked about this, until we saw that RedOctane is only taking "a limited amount of sponsorships" for the time being. But why should that stop you? Here's a quick checklist of things we recommend to have on hand for your own rocking Guitar Hero party/tournament: PS2, Guitar Hero, two guitar controllers (consider investing in wireless) A good speaker system (crank it to 11!) Plenty of alcohol (or grape juice, if you're under 21 *cough*) Non-greasy finger food (don't want any slippery frets) Atmosphere (Disco ball, strobe light, smoke machine, etc.) Costumes (fake wigs, top hats, mascara, etc.) Plenty of floor space (for tricks/excessive rocking) How to Play Air Guitar (to peruse in between rounds) Plenty of beginner and expert players (for two tourney brackets) Massive whiteboard/poster board (to display results) Anything to add, Joystiqers?
