Although I'm not a gamer (probably because I'm bad at gaming), six months ago I bought an XBox 360. I love it as a Windows Media Center Extender, but I have not been playing that many games on it. Till past weekend...
Some time ago, I was in Redmond and visited Steven Wilssens and Thomas Delrue. (They are both Belgians working at Microsoft Corp, in case you wouldn't know that.) After some shopping and a BBQ at Steven's house, we all gathered around his big television screen. Steven started his XBox 360 and took out an electronic guitar-like device. The game for that night was Guitar Hero 2 (Guitar Hero 2 on xbox.com for Belgium - Dutch). Everyone seemed to playing quite well. Since I never played that game, I didn't want to compete with these guys.
But this weekend I bought my own Guitar Hero 2 game with guitar. And guess what... I really love the game and have never played that many hours on my XBox 360 before. It's really not hard to start, you can learn quite fast and make progress.
Tommy Gun of Cracked Rabbit Gaming recorded a video of him playing Guitar Hero 2 in Expert mode. And before people start telling me that I should get a life and buy a real guitar, I agree with Tommy Gun on why we're playing Guitar Hero instead of the real thing.
