The Genius that is Guitar Hero



Over the Easter weekend, like many people I got together with my family. We had an egg hunt and decorated cookies. We ate a lot of different kinds of food including ham. The day was great, what made it even more special was that my cousins brought over their Xbox 360. I really didn't care at first. As you all know I am more of a Wii player. However, I couldn't help but hear the rock songs blaring from the living room. They were playing Guitar Hero. I had seen the game in the past but I was never really interested. I decided to give it a try and I was totally hooked. The person that created this game should be a millionaire, if they aren't already. I enjoyed everything from the song choices to the look of the on-screen characters. At first, I felt that the controls were very difficult to master. However, after playing for just a few moments I was getting through more advanced songs. The game works with a special guitar shaped controller. There are colored buttons on the top that you need to press and a switch that mimmics strumming. I just hope that this game, or another one similar to it, will be available for the Wii. Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution are the leaders in the trend of more interactive games. The Wii is a system that is based upon this concept. Guitar Hero is a game that everyone can have fun with. I really want my Dad to play it. He has always wanted to play the guitar but he doesn't possess that natural ability. I also found this funny interview with Jack Black playing Guitar Hero.

this game looks awesome. it's cool that you can download packs of songs too so that way you can keep playing even after you beat the original game.

anyways, why is there no comment link on your video post? i'm forced to leave one here. those are some classic cartoons, although i like todays cartoons much, much more. i never realized how freakin' scary woody wood pecker looks. i've never seen the old version of him. that would have given me nightmares as a kid.

props on the howard the duck image. he shall never be forgotten.

I couldn't post on the eyespot video for some reason so I'd do it here. I really liked the cartoons and the old videos.

It really brought back memories of when I used to watch cartoons. I feel nostalgic.

Music fit and everything--well done.
