I'm just pretty sick of "Hero" and "Band" games in general. Will they ever end, or will we just see game after game released, each the same as the last but with new songs?

The only way the games can ultimately evolve is to integrate real instruments into the game (or near-to-real instruments) and then you may as well have spent your 100s of pounds on real guitar/ drum/ amplification equipment.

All I can say is this game better be good :)

Still not paying £50 for it though.

Yeah I couldn't agree more with Mario 64 and Shadow of the Colossus. They were both brilliantly special.

Far Cry 2 was special in terms of its size and environment, and gave a great hint at the game it could have been, but was ultimately repetitive and frustrating.

Bioshock is a game I've never been impressed with on any level. It seemed to play just like Fallout 3 (which lets face it, doesn't have the best FPS playability) but set in corridors.....and repetitive/ boring/ samey corridors at that.

If I had to call one game dull it would be Bioshock.

I've added you to my list under the "PS3 Fanboi" heading.

I sort of agree with you here. Guitar Hero especially is just full to the brim with rock stereotypes to give 'Mr Gary Public' a laugh for a while, but there isn't really much for real guitar / rock fans, which I suppose could be described as lackluster quality. The tracklists in the GH games aren't bad though.

As fun as the GH / Rock Band games are for a while, I think people should invest their time learning the real guitar. I just think it's crazy.
