Oh yeah, the Flames have guitar hero contests and all Iggy does on planes and hotels is play games with the other guys on his laptop.

I've only unlocked a couple songs, but according to Wikipedia it is on the list. Which is good news because that song is awesome.

Oh wow! Apparently one of the secret tracks is Trogdor by Strong Bad and if anyone knows what that song is, that's where my name came from.

One of the Detroit Tigers pitchers had to miss a start in the playoffs last year because his shoulder was sore from playing Guitar Hero.

Boy, I don't care how old, or young for that matter, you are, this is simply a fantastic game. It's incredibly tough on the harder levels. Even "easy" can be a challenge on some songs. It's all kinds of fun though. Highly recommended.

Futureshop and Best Buy are having online sales this weekend I believe, where 360 games for example will be 10% off. So that is 89.99 minus 10% I do believe.

I might have to pick this up.

Rock Band game announced

Quote:
Expected in stores for the year-end holidays, the Electronic Arts game (no price set) for the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3 will be played with four instrument-based video game controllers: two guitars (lead and bass), a drum kit and a microphone.
Myself, I have GT I and II. Obviously pretty fun stuff. However, I've found that a lot of the songs on GT II I don't like, so just play the "good" ones over and over.

i have been waiting for this game for a long time on the 360.

best buy had the game and guitar for 89.99 but fshop was 99.99. the extra guitar is like $60 at both places.

the song list looks better for my tastes on gh, but i'm gonna get this for the 360. i just ran out of time on thursday!

what i like about the 360 version is that 2 players can play co-operatively.

fwiw, the karoake revolution games (on xbox) are good too for the kids...and of course the ddr ones as well work great if you have kids too. the lovely wife and i sang a duet on karaoke revolution party (i've had the time of my life...if you must know) and i think we scarred the kids for life! hehheh

MOD EDIT: Fixed.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up the guitar but man oh man that game is so much fun! It is way more fun if you stand up and jam out than sit down and play it as well.

Check this guy out:

this actually is my problem with the gh games. for rush...there were many, many songs that they could have chosen. the opening guitar riff from limelight would rock on this game. or later stuff like time stand still even...although secretly i would like to play red barchetta.

same thing with van halen. what about panama instead of the one that they chose?

anyways...hopefully the download packs bring the def leppards and ac/dc songs online.

I would have loved to play Closer to the Heart for Rush...definetely Ain't Nothing but Love for Van Halen (but I can play that badly on a real guitar so that makes up for it).
