Guitar Hero III

by Stros Bro on Jan 10, 2008 8:00 PM CST in News

Okay, I know this is typically an Astros/Baseball oreinted blog, but honestly... other than the whole steroids/Clemens thing, there isn't really anything in baseball going on right now that's interesting enough to even start a topic on. Yes, I know Biggio is being awarded the Thurman Munson award, one of only 5 people to receive it this year... but that's pretty much old news...

So on to something, non-sports related. Guitar Hero 3. Any of you played it? I got it for Christmas for my Nintendo Wii, and I'm kind of addicted to it. Not like mentally ill addicted to it... I mean I only play it like maybe 4-5 hours a week... but damn it's fun. I've even gone as far as downloading songs for my MP3 player from the game... So, I just wanted something a little different to talk about..

Any other games you guys/gals play?

hilarious. I just started too

I saw it during Christmas. My nieces were playing it and it looked really fun. So when we got back home My sister and brother in-law got it. We have been playing it almost every day after work. I have never played any instruments before so it was kind of hard to start out. I am amazed how quickly I have learned. I can now play half the songs on medium. It is both frustrating and awesome at the same time.

My first mistake was assuming you knew what I was talking about.

holy crap

No one has even looked at expert I play with. We all take turns and only play for a hour or so. So I only get like 4 or 5 songs in before I go home. I bet I have only played 40-50 songs so far.

I think it is funny that my brother who is amazing with a real guitar isn't amazing with a guitar hero.

Ya well..

My wife plays it some.. but very little, so when I'm on it for an hour or 2, it's all me usually.

Yeah...

Everyone who gets that game seems to get addicted to it. :p Have you played Rock Band? Like guitar hero, but with more instruments/people. That's pretty cool too.

No rock band for the Wii

At least not yet... but yea, if it comes out for the Wii, I would seriously look into getting it.

I'm addicted to my DS

just because I can take it with me. I personally love the Wii Sports, but I mostly use the Wii to kick my boyfriend's ass at SOMETHING. I haven't gotten Guitar Hero for it yet, but I play on my friend's PS2.

Also, Super Mario Galaxy. Well, I <3 anything Mario.

Aaaaahhh!

Nintendo people!

I own a 360 and GH3 is simply awesome. I mix it together with a few other games (nothing baseball, since they can't sell them here in Australia). But yeah, it's pretty fun.

Rock Band doesn't come out here until later this year, and with an expensive price tag...

NO BASEBALL!?!?

Like, they don't offer them? What's up with that?

Bigs is a decent baseball game for the Wii by the way.

I know nothing about the games...

but didn't the Tigers' Zumaya injure his pitching arm from playing too much Guitar Hero and he had to go on the DL...well, maybe, he hasn't been the same since? Hey, I'm trying to find a baseball connection.

Hee!

Yes, that was the report of the injury. Wonder if/how they write that in to future contracts?

I don't Wii, I PS3. My current favorite is Resistance Fall of Man. I thought about getting GH but everybody says it's so addictive, I'm almost afraid to. 'Cause, like I don't spend enough time on my hobbies already. . . .

Nice Job

I forgot about that... but yes, you are right, it was reported to have been caused from the game.

Link for those interested in reading about it.

I liked Rock Band

When I played at my buddies house but I was drunk though. I was drunk at an Astros game when Chris Holt pitched and I had a good time there too so I am not sure if it really counts.

It's the next generation of Astros. Let's see if they can play like the men they are replacing.

Wii Games...

MLB 2K8 comes out in Feb. for the Wii, it's gonna be great to actually have a real baseball game for the wii which you can also play against your buddies online. I just got Medal of Honor Heroes 2 for the Wii and it's awesome because it has online multiplayer where you run around shooting others, its real addicting!
