Aspyr Media, Inc., an Austin-based gaming company which specializes in adapting
popular games to new consoles, will soon be bringing Guitar Hero to a PC near you.  The company announced today that that the third iteration of the wildly popular Guitar Hero franchise, Guitar Hero™ III: Legends of Rock, will be available to PC and Mac gamers for the first time ever this fall.  This is quite a score for Aspyr as Guitar Hero has been a wildly successful game on the X-box and Wii; according to Ted
Staloch, Executive Vice President, Publishing for Aspyr, “Working with such a wildly successful franchise and helping to
strengthen an already powerful brand has us feeling like rock stars
ourselves, only without the fame, money or musical talent.” 

The company, which employs about 150 people in the Austin area,  has already had a fair amount of success.  In fact, Guitar Hero joins an impressive list of games Aspyr has converted, such as The Sims, Medal of Honor and Civilization.  In a town like Austin that embraces Game Development Companies, look for Aspyr to continue to make waves.
