http://forge.ironrealms.com/2006/06/16/i-eat-stevie-ray-vaughn-for-breakfast/ A blog on virtual worlds, games, and digital content, from Matt Mihaly Fri, 21 Nov 2008 00:55:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.3 http://forge.ironrealms.com/2006/06/16/i-eat-stevie-ray-vaughn-for-breakfast/#comment-727 Wed, 23 Aug 2006 20:59:14 +0000 http://forge.ironrealms.com/2006/06/16/i-eat-stevie-ray-vaughn-for-breakfast/#comment-727 [...] As much as I absolutely loved Guitar Hero, the song selection was a bit mediocre in my opinion insofar as there weren’t enough songs that serve as icons of guitar godhood. To be fair, I’m sure that Harmonix’s budget for Guitar Hero wasn’t huge, and licensing really big songs no doubt gets expensive. There were also some obvious missing features, like the ability to play simultaneously but on different difficulty levels (I ended up resorting to playing left handed with the fret order reversed in order to give less obsessed people a chance) and the ability to play rhythm vs. lead lines, etc. Regardless, Guitar Hero still stands, in my estimation, as the best game ever made in terms of letting you be something you’re not. No game has ever brought me closer to -feeling- like I’m something else.
