I’m a big fan of Guitar Hero.  I first purchased GH3 – Legends of Rock for PS2 for Christmas a few years ago.  I immediately told Cyndi, “Go buy another guitar tomorrow, we’re rockin’ out baby!!” While I never played the game to “win” or complete the competition of it all, I played to release my inner rock star.  (Side note: The running joke at Cyndi’s school is that in a “previous life” before we met I was a rock star from Europe.)  GH3 was only for guitar, so Cyndi and I would jam out with lead guitar and bass to tracks like ‘Barracuda’ and ‘Hit Me with Your Best Shot.’  Friday nights were never the same.  Then we  purchased GH Aerosmith and got to be Joe Perry in all of his ‘Mama Kin’ glory.  Life was good.

A few years later we decided that we wanted a Wii.  It became our Christmas present to each other.  For my birthday three days later I received GH World Tour.  Guitar, DRUMS(!!!) and Microphone opened up a whole new door of inner rock glory.  So while I could still play GH on PS2, GHWT was my new drug.  I could download songs, create new ones and mix them, and even just jam out to my Mii.   My son got into it and was drumming at the wonderful age of 1 and a half.

While I haven’t kept up with purchasing every new version of the game that has come out, GH is getting ready for their next version: Warriors of Rock.  Adding new features, new game-play options, the GH franchise is again setting the stage for another great game.  September seems far off, but might have to be in my line up of another GH purchase.
