I was not originally expecting to ever get that much time with Guitar Hero III other than what I played with my friend who got it. He brought it over earlier in the week, we finished almost all of co-op in one go. Speaking of which, all the co-op Achievements are glitched, so you can only get them if you're player one, meaning you'll have to do everything over twice with your friend unless team Not Harmonix gets their act together. If you know what I've been saying about Guitar Hero III, you'll know that last statement isn't fair. I've decided that Rock Band will be better long ago. I have to say, the more time I'm putting into the latest installment of the Guitar Hero franchise, though, I'm finding new things I like and new thing I don't. Regardless, it is nice to get to play it. My sister had gotten so into Guitar Hero II that she basically decided she was going to get it as soon as I said I was taking the Harmonix path. At first I didn't really care, but I found myself getting excited as the weekend drew close. Sarah picked up the game Friday and we've both spent some time rocking out on career and co-op. More impressions follow.

Yes, I'm finally writing something again. Over the past few weeks I've either been too busy to blog or to bored to find anything to blog about. Nothing all that exciting has been happening so I decided to rent a game for the Wii this weekend. I had hoped to rent Excite Truck, and I'd been looking forward to playing it all week. Turns out so had a lot of other people, I can't seem to find a copy to rent at any place. Well, EB Games might, but they don't answer their phones. Like, ever. I ended up deciding to rent Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam over Elebits and I think I may have made the wrong choice. It's not
that bad, but looking at the numerous games in the series this isn't one that stands out. Well, not for good qualities, anyways. Maybe it's not getting Excite Truck or that Tony Hawk accepted for Project 8 at those damn Spike TV awards, but I'm not too happy with this game right now. Consider that if you plan on reading the following review.
