Is ’Guitar Hero’ next?
Posted by Wade Tatangelo on Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 2:23 PM
In my latest Bar Tab column I admit to being seduced by the mighty Wii for the first time. In fact, it was the first time I had played a video game since my crazy (lazy) college days. I enjoyed myself. But I still think the idea of wasting time on manipulating a fake, plastic instrument when you could be making actual music on a real guitar, is ridiculous. Yeah, I'm talking to you, Guitar Hero geeks. Anyway, here's a bit from my column:
But my favorite part of the weekend -- well, except for, y'know, giving thanks and spending quality time with the fam -- was discovering the awesomeness of the Wii. Which is odd, because I have major issues with video games. In fact, a large part of me believes they are the reason this country no longer dominates the world the way we did in, say, 1956.

I wholeheartedly agree about guitar hero. For probably the same price as the game and the gear, you can buy a real guitar, albeit not a great one; but one that will get you started. You can even write your own songs and maybe even start your own band. Go figure.

I think you guys are missing the point with this game. It's not a substitute for the real thing, and those that play aren't pretending that it is. If anything, it may encourage those to start playing. You can say the same thing for other games: Madden - go join a football league, any shooting game - go buy a paintball gun or join the army, etc.
In other words, get some booze, friends and Rock Band and tell me if you have a good time or not..
