And that one guitar made his whole life change

| 24 Mar 2006 14:48

A box arrived at the office yesterday afternoon from Amazon. Seems that someone here had ordered Guitar Hero. We got it set up and started playing. Thirty minutes later, two of us were on our way to the mall to get our own copies. One of those two didn't even own a PS2, and bought one just to play this game. That's right, I dropped 250 bucks to jump around my living room with a plastic guitar. For 7 hours straight. I know they had some GDC thing, and some Independent Games Awards or something, but My Game of the Year, is Guitar Hero. I know I showed up late for the Battle of the Bands as it's been out for sometime, but my amps finally go to 11.
