Sure, I've blogged about Star Trek Online, Aliens Vs Predator, Champions Online, Supreme Commander 2, and Battlefield Bad Company 2, and they're all on the pc, but there's something else; something unique that, every so often, I just enjoy returning to... and it's on a console.
My friends, I present Rock Band 2 (on the PS3).
I got into drumming in that game in a big way. I imported from the US all the addons you could think of; drum pad covers, metal pedal covers, trigger sticks, stools (sorry, thrones)... you name it, I bought it. Eventually I picked up the premium ION drumset, and then got a proper Roland setup.
Christ, you can spend a lot on this stuff. And I thought graphics cards and subwoofers were expensive :)
I have to admit, though, that it doesn't honestly get a lot of use these days. But it's like, it just sits there, ever patient. "When you want to come play me, I'll be ready".
The reason I'm motivated into an update about Rock Band (of all things), is that I've just returned from a 15-song setlist, and I had a great time. Ok, so it's different, and yeah, sometimes you just want to play a game where you get to shoot someone or blow something up, but there is a serious amount of fun to be had if you give it a chance.
