So, I had to go to Colorado this past weekend to help my mom move. While I was there my twin brother was telling me about how much fun this PS2 game called Guitar Hero was. I've seen it in stores, but it never really played it or had any interest in it. My brother talked me into playing a couple of songs and WOW. That game is a blast. As soon as I got back to town, actually on my way home from the airport, I stopped and bought it.

I get it home, hook it up, and start playing. By the time I get finished with about my second song, my wife and 11yr old son are both begging me to play. So, we start taking turns playing songs, completely consuming the rest of the day. What a blast!

Just in case you don't know what Guitar Hero is, it's a video game for the Sony Playstation2 where you have a controller that looks like a guitar, and you play a variety of popular rock songs by hitting the buttons on the frets of the guitar and strumming using a bi-directional button along with the music.  If you miss a note, the song sounds bad, the crowd is unhappy and you loose. It's well worth the $80 in my mind. I find it fasinatingly fun.

I'm not a very big PS2 fan. I love my Xbox and Xbox360. So as far as PS2 games go, this is one of the best in my limited ps2 playing time.

As we were buying the game the manager at the GameCrazy in Frisco said it's coming out for Xbox360 in about a month or two. So, I'm going to go PreOrder it next time I'm in the store.

Check it out, it's amazing fun and addictive.

Later,
