Android phones are due to receive paid-for content, one of the first additions being a mobile version of Guitar Hero: World Tour.
One of the biggest complaints about the Android Market, the equivalent of Apple's App Store for the Google-designed phone OS, has been a lack of professional applications; this is largely due to the fact that all the content on the store, so far, has been free of charge.
As a result, the game selection for phones using the Android operating system has been sadly lacking.
According to the official announcement, "gamers will use the G1's sensitive touch-screen to play along with 15 rock classics including Deep Purple's 'Smoke on the Water', Guns'n'Roses' 'Welcome to the Jungle' and Black Sabbath's 'Paranoid'. There's also a bonus song available every month, and users can log on to guitarheromobile.com to create their own rock star persona."
Whether or not the bonus song will be free or if users will have to pay to download the additional content wasn't revealed, but given Bobby Kotick's usual business plan, it seems safe to assume the latter.
T-1 has also announced a few other games' imminent arrival to the download service: Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Tetris, and Monopoly are all apparently on their way. For those who own Android phones, hopefully this is only the beginning of what will turn into a robust game market.
