So I have Guitar Hero 3! This is the first Guitar Hero game I've actually owned and it's brilliant, it's awesome, it's unbelievable. You wouldn't believe the trouble I had trying to tear myself away from it to write this blog. Anyway it's also the Christmas holidays and that's awesome too, after my longest term at college I finally get two weeks off to enjoy the awesome games I'm getting for Christmas (then straight back for exams) but the strange thing is even with Halo 3, The Orange Box and the other games I'm getting all that seems to matter to me now is Guitar Hero 3. I would like to thank PJ24, Mars 188 and Fishdalf who commented on my last blog and I;d also like to give a shoutout to CmdrMcNeil who I have mentioned before but is now back up on Gamespot, his video blogs are long but if you like blogs they're very well worth watching.
Anyway this Guitar newbie has been up to a little something else lately, the Best and Worst of 2007 awards are coming up and I hope you've allvoted. The slight concern I have is that the recent release of Call of Duty 4 is giving it a hype which is unfairly boosting it above the competition but my worries may be unfounded, anyway here are my choices:
