Here's the newest guilty pleasure that will most likely be unpopular on the board... Rockband! Wikipedia ftw: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Band_(video_game)We got a group together (including a bass), and I got handed the microphone for this. I was suprised, because I violently hate karaoke. But after some talking into, I gave it a shot and it was a lot fun. The guys also were having some problem keeping on pitch when they tried it. Glad being reared by classical musicians did something useful besides make me annoying when talking about film composers. Drumming, btw, is said to be the most accurate feature of the game. Guitars and Bass...nothing like really playing. I'm learning real guitar, and button mashing is not quite the same.

Rock Band hits our shores next year, it's one I'm thinking of getting for the party-style atmosphere. I <3 Guitar Hero II and III for the same reason.

I would skip Guitar Hero 3 if you are thinking of adding it to your list of purchases and go straight to Rockband. Guitar Hero 3 wasn't made by the same group who did 2 & 1, and it shows. There is a couple of good songs on there, but all in all they just added stuff to it without any real innovation. Rockband is made by the same folks who did 2 & 1, and they had MTV backing...and the graphics, gameplay, and overall feel of the game is a much higher quality gameplay experience.
Ohyeah, and the controller for the Guitar Hero 3 guitar is a plastic Les Paul UKELELE. Carpal anyone?
Rockband is an excellent party game btw. It creates instant comradeship.

I've got a friend of mine who didn't want his GH3 so he passed it on to me, not the controller though. I have a GH II controller still :>
One of the big sellers for me in Rockband = custom character creation :>

Huh ... even I'm tempted by this one. I might have to dust off the PS2 ...

My spouse-creature got a TON of cool points by surpising me with his tattoo'd rocker sporting my initials.
