Rock Band

       So the game I happened to play to review this week is Rock Band for the XBox360, and I must say that it's everything I've ever wanted in a game. Granted I was under the infulence of many a chemical (can I say that in a school blog?) when I first tried this game out, but even if I were not I feel that it would have been mindblowingly awesome. 
       By nature I'm not much of a rythm man, so drums were right out for my first attempt at the game, and setteling for the all-too-familiar guitar controler I opted for guitar, and then bass, and then singing and once I'd had my fill of strings and things, I tried drums. 
       Not much has changed in the transition from Guitar Hero to Rock Band so far as guitar and bass is concerned, so it was quick to pick up for me. I easily blazed through tracks by Oasis and Radiohead, and once I'd had my fill of British 90s Alternative I was dragged into playing various metal and derivitive genres by my cohorts. Not surprisingly they were all enjoyable. 
       Putting down the guitar I picked up the microphone (now if Only I had two turntables...) and belted out Say It Ain't So in my best black-metal singing voice with surprising results (reassuring me that singing games will always be lame). And then I tried my hands and a foot at drumming and experienced exactly the results I had anticipated earlier in this entry.
       All in all I am definitly jealous of everyone I know that owns this game, and I wish I had it so that I could spend hours of my life sitting infront of my tele pounding little plastic disks.
