Boom in music video games helps original artists

Guitar Hero and Rock Band 2 video game bundles are seen on display at a GameStop store in Redwood City, Calif., Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2008. As the music industry struggles to cope with falling compact disc sales, the music video games are inspiring homebodies to get up and play guitar, drums, and sing along, helping revive interest in music and providing a lift to sales amid a broad market decline.
