Rock Band


When Harmonix mixed Guitar Hero, Karaoke Revolution and their little cousins drum set, they accidentally created the ultimate party game. Throw in a touch of alcohol and there's no need to do anything else. This game is so popular that there are very few people who haven't played it. Seriously. My grandmother knows Rock Band. Actually I'm pretty sure she's kicked my butt on "Enter Sandman"
This is in no way a dig on Guitar Hero: World Tour. Ok, maybe it is. A small one.  *dig*
Now that video games are becoming increasingly mainstream with games like Rock Band and the Wii, it makes sense that more people are playing them. Nintendo these days is practically printing money. And kudos to them really. It seems they're the only ones who can in this recession. DSi anyone? 
Anyway: In conclusion, Rock Band = good. It's fun, it's classic, it's party and just embarrassing enough that you wont want to play it in public unless you've had the necessary "social lubrication" with your good buddies Jack Daniels, Captain Morgan and Vodka Man. And if you do you're one of "those" people who sits around by themselves playing Rock Band all day and trying to achieve an all new "high score" on green grass and high tides. 
Shame on you. Rock Band is meant to be shared clumsily between drunken friends. 
This coming from the man who frequently plays the game just so he can sing to himself. Fun.
