Video Games?

[drinksmithwicks]

Hi all, just wanted to pop in to ask if anyone in here plays video games at all.

I'm currently addicted to the LEGO Indiana Jones game for the Wii. Those LEGO renderings of movie characters are hilarious. ;D

LOL...Lego!!!
Well both my brothers are HUGE video games nuts. Each has a different system- XBOX and Wii. I'll definitely have to mention the Indy game.
I grew up on playing the NES!! My fave game was Ice Climber. Yes, we even had that little robot that threw down those things that looked like tops! I think its called Gyromite?!
I love playing Guitar Hero...but never can be as good as my nephew- he's on "expert" mode!

A friend of mine brought her Wii over to my house about a month ago. All I can say is ADDICTING! If I had that in my house all the time I would never leave. I did suffer from Wii arm for quite a few days from the tennis game!

I play Guitar Hero and Rock Band on occasion, when everyone at school happens to be playing it. I'm not very good with the guitar, but I manage to do well with the drums on rock band...

I've seen kids play Rock Band at Best Buy and that non-drum sound (just banging) is terrible!! They should have put some kind of sound..I don't know?!

yeah it is rather odd, but I do find the drums much easier then the guitar. But I've always been more beat oriented then anything...

I play lots of video games, Halo, Rockband, Guitar Hero, are the most popular that we play in my group of friends though, since they are the most entertaining if you don't have a controller at the moemnt.

I played Rockband for the first time the other day. I just could not get the guitar down! I guess I have no coordination. The singing though...that was my forte! Even though I have NO singing voice, I was able to rock it. Highest % was 99%! Man, if I had a Wii I don't think I would ever leave the house!

[chemicalmystery]

I have an issue with the guitar for rockband, i don't like the toggle switch (the one for strumming)

So...

...myspace now has an online Karaoke thing.

I vote we all give it a shot. Mhmmmmm.

[lizmontana]

Karaoke....now you're talking!!

There have been online karaoke for years. However, karaoke is BEST live!! You have to get on the stage and belt out your fave cheesy song!!

There are also karaoke rooms....but I think making a fool of yourself on stage is BEST!!

A couple of games I am really looking forward to are LEGO: Batman and Star Wars: Force Unleashed, both of which I believe are due out later this month.
