Who’s tired of Guitar Hero and other music games? As a musician, I know your pain. Last year was like a mass-genocide of music games with all the crap they put out. This year, it seems, they’ve decided to bring their A game. Rock Band 3 is adding keyboard support and a pro-guitar which is supposed to actually teach you how to play, and Guitar Hero is… adding a story mode.
Well, I love great stories, and this one is narrated by the Demon himself, Gene Simmons, so maybe it might be worth checking out? I know I’ll at least rent it if my eyes aren’t deceiving me about the song list below:
