Anyone ever played "Guitar Hero"? There was a brief moment in the store where nobody was playing and so I picked up the guitar and within 1 song I was totally addicted. I'm sure some of you actual musicians out there would find this game to be one more sign that society is going down the tubes. But for a guy like me with no appreciable musical talent, this was probably the most fun I've had playing a video game since Halo was new.

For those who may be totally clueless, the player has a controller that is in the shape of a guitar. It has 5 buttons on the frets. On the screen, as the song plays you are cued as to which buttons to push. As you push the button your right hand strums a "string" key. It's kind of like those horrible dancing games only this game is addictive because in some sense you feel like you are actually playing the guitar. When you miss a note it is clearly audible and if you miss several the crowd begins to boo you. You should have heard me light it up on the guitar solo during Boston's "More than a feeling!"
