It's a party game. Playing it by yourself is fine (I've done it plenty of times) but there's no better way to play this game than on a big screen, through a cranked stereo system, in an open space with a bunch of friends around to cheer on the performances. Playing Guitar Hero on a computer is like rocking out with a suit and tie on. Where's the soul?! Guitar Hero is very much a social kind of gaming experience. It’s a party game.

Computers are for in the office, or study. They sit on a desk, you sit on a chair, and you operate them with a keyboard and mouse. The idea of standing in front of a desk with a toy guitar is just ridiculous. Keep games to the lounge, or bedroom, and play them on a console. The only games I think are at all suited to computers are things like Sim City or Theme Park. I never understand PC owners going on about Macs not having any games - so what?! I don't want games on my Mac, I have a Wii and a PS2, and a DS and a PSP for games, why on earth would I want games on a devices not suited to them which I keep in a place entirely unsuitable for playing games in?
