Been playing quite a bit of this recently at friends houses - I don’t own a copy of my own, it’s too expensive for my budget at this time.
I’m getting better at it, but the holy grail of songs is the ‘DragonForce’ track you obtain at the end.
See it in action in these you tube videos;

And now a kid playing the same song in Guitar Hero 3:
I play alot of Halo 3 (when I can), this amongst other games are not only good to play - they are good to look at.
Games are becoming monumentally big to make, soon rivalling the film industry for budget and resources. Here are a few screenshots from games that I play which without close inspection look relatively real! Imagine the work that would of gone into this and how it can compare to Pixar’s Toy Story of many years ago!
These images are rendered in realtime within the game, whereas CGI in films can take hours to render individual frames.

Many things have been on ‘the back burner’ these last few weeks.
My xbox 360 has been moaning as I haven’t played in over 14 days. (This is a suprising fact as the Halo Legendry Map Pack was released yesterday - which I think I have downloaded, but definitely not played with)
I’ve not really been out much. (Although it is necessary to find some time for walks etc)
I had a break in Newquay, chance to relax for a few days. (Photos for this expedition are on my Facebook profile)
So what’s been taking all my time?
