Guitar Hero…
After seeing a re-run episode of South Park entitled Guitar Queer-O, I decided to see what all the fuss is about this particular video game. I’m a mild gamer - I’ve had all the Nintendo’s growing up but switched when the PS1 came out. I then bought the PS2 and rocked that solely till this past Thanksgiving, when I was luckily enough to find (I should say it was more recon work then mere finding) a Wii.
So… this weekend I rented (yes you can rent them) a Guitar Hero kit (game and controller).
I should note that I’m a drummer (I was a percussionist from elementary thru senior year in high school) and have never really played the guitar all that much.
So, the first few times I tried the game, I was horrible, strike that, I was God awful! But, as with anything you do, you get better with practice and so it was only a matter of 30 minutes before I was really getting the hang of it.
The system is addictive!!! I’m still on the Easy setting and have only played about 15 different songs and battled Tom Merello (Rage against the machine Guitarist) about 5 times - losing tevery time oo!
Next, I’ll have to try Rock Band. Do they make that for the Wii?

They are making Rock Band for the Wii. Comes out in June. If you’re a drummer by nature, I highly recommend it.
