Games for music a great idea.
Dec. 31st, 2011 10:06 amRocksmith is a great video game idea! In fact, I think it should be a law that all mmo video games be played ONLY with musical instruments as the controllers. If ever person learning to cast a spell on an ice elemental was really playing Jingle Bells or Smoke on the Water with their spell combos, every person with a video game would soon be Mozart. Games could be the greatest mnemonic teaching device for music ever! Yet I know the Southpark episodes making fun of guitar video games are really to blame in the episode “Guitar Queer-O”

and now, the evolution...
"Rocksmith - The first and only game that plugs into any guitar
Introducing the next stage in the evolution of the music game. Rocksmith, the first and only game where you can plug into any real guitar.
Featuring gameplay that automatically adjusts to your personal ability and innovative game design that makes playing music visually intuitive, Rocksmith will engage experienced musicians as well as those who have never picked up a guitar in their life.
Guitarcade: Play a variety of different mini-games designed to hone specific guitar-playing skills such as scales, bends, tremolo, harmonics, and much more!
Every copy of Rocksmith will include a revolutionary 1/4 inch to USB cable that turns the guitar's signal from analog to digital, allowing it to be recognized and played through video game consoles for the first time. By plugging into your console, you'll develop real skills and real styles while playing absolutely real music.
And you'll experience it all with an honest-to-goodness guitar. Nothing compares to playing a real guitar. Except playing Rocksmith."
