It was a hectic day as Activision Blizzard's financial results brought about all sorts of news. The Guitar Hero unit at Activision is being shut down and there will not be a new Guitar Hero game this year. The latter is probably for the best, given the consensus that Activision has been running the franchise into the ground for years. People are losing their jobs as a result of these and other cuts being made, however, and that's never the sort of thing you want to hear. This was perhaps an inevitability given the way the music videogame business had been going in recent years. Even so, it's still surprising to finally see happen.
The highlights from today's news:

• A "digital platform" for Call of Duty is being developed by Beachhead.
• Kevin Butler retweeted the bane of Sony's existence.
• Grand Theft Auto 5 should be out before the end of January 2012, according to one analyst.
• True Crime: Hong Kong has been canceled.Attack of the headline "axe."
