Rock Band
I know I’m always the last to the party when it comes to hip new things, but I finally played Rock Band (warning, site maximizes browser window, ugh) for the first time tonight. While the guitar and bass parts of the songs were kind of boring and old hat, the drum set was fun. I really got into it after about half an hour.
That being said, I don’t think I’d ever buy it. It was mainly fun because we had a group of 5 people, which you can’t pull off often (at least, not me at this point in my life, maybe back in college). That and $180 for the game, the drums, and one guitar is too steep for me. The songs available were okay, though quite a few of them were mainstream oldies that kind of bored me. Apparently they are releasing new songs you can download for a couple of bucks every week or so. That seems interesting.
