Rock on

Let's think about the newest and most popular video game around right now. What do you think it would be? If you're thinking of the typical gun war, mario party, frogger type thing, you're wrong. Music and instruments has given inspiration to the game of the year. I'm sure you've heard of these two popular games; Rock Band and Guitar Hero. These games have taken the world by storm, allowing people to feel like they are part of a live band and they are controlling an instrument, regardless of musical talent. While Guitar Hero is simply a guitar, Rock Band comes equip with a guitar, drum set and a microphone. They both give the selection of old and new school rock, where you will decide what song you want to "play" on your instrument. This allows for people to really "rock out" with their own personal band. My favorite out of the two would be Rock Band, I'm great at the guitar, and I love to play with a few friends. But what I like most about this video game is that it is getting kids more involved with instruments. Playing the guitar or the drums virtually is making kids want the real thing, which is amazing.
