"...Guitar Hero: World Tour
Activision has done an amazing job of locking up talent for its upcoming
title. The biggest news was that Jimi Hendrix would be coming to the game,
not only in song form but as an in-game model. A live version of "Purple
Haze" as well as "The Wind Cries Mary" will ship with the title, with more
exclusive Hendrix songs coming as downloadable content. This is huge; when
you say the words "guitar hero," who comes to mind more readily than
Hendrix? ".


No amount of button-pushing fun can replace the multi-dimensional experience
of playing high-volume electric guitar.

Ironically, the latter is cheaper, nowadays!

Yea, I know I'm out of touch.... I don't even know what this "Guitar Hero"
game is! Do you stand in front of the TV and simulate playing? Is there a
toy guitar in the box? Is it like air guitar? What the hell is all the rage
over these games anyway???

Anyone for a game of Pong? ha ha
