Guitar Hero Arcade Cabinet

A Guitar Hero Arcade Cabinet. Yes it is true. This thing of beauty is fully funtional and ready to rock. Can you buy this work of art? Nope it was built custom by a famous arcade cabinet designer and builder.

He goes by the name of Knievel on www.forum.arcadecontrols.com forum. He is a Canadian native and brings the meaning of Game Room to a whole new level. I must say with all my research of some of the best Home Game Rooms. Canada hands down has the most innovative ones. It might have to do with being stuck in doors for most of the year.

This Guitar Hero Arcade Cabinet has been featured in TONS of artcles on the web and in print. I am not 100% sure but I think it was or will be featured in Game Room Magazine. Just google.com guitar hero arcade cabinet and read an endless sea of articles of this famous cabinet.

Rock Band 2 Guitar "no customization needed"

This guitar looks so sweet. There will be no need for mods or any customization at all. It is the guitar all been waiting for.



Even though I miss the clicking of the strings (like the guitar hero guitars) and the buttons. Some like the quite sound of these guitars.



In the game of Rock Band I hardly ever play the guitar. I am always on drums or on vocals. I think I might of played the guitar about 3 songs total. But with this guitar things might change.



This thing looks good enough to hang on the wall. Very impressive and realistic. I already have my pre-order in.



I heard lots of complaints too about the first batch of guitars. Well let it be known that I have had my rock band drums, guitar, mic since Christmas 2007 and still working 100%. I don't know if people just don't take care of there stuff or not. But I never had anything go wrong with any of my stuff yet.



Looks like a double thumbs up "fonzi style" for this one. Can't wait to do a full review on it.


Thanks

Rock Band 2 Drum Set

Rock Band 2 is on the horizon and already photos of the new drum set are hitting the net. The set target price for these new drums are $300 bones. So start giving blood and selling your sperm now. It is definately a hefty price tag for this game but the drums do look very sweet.

If you are a lucky person like myself and own a set of Roland V-drums you can mod your V-drums like this guy did.

Looks like a lot of work for the average lazy gamer like myself. That just likes to plug it in and play. With having the original Drums for Rock Band. It might be something I will have to upgrade if they add in different elements to the drums on the software side. Like actually hitting a cymble instead of a drum pad.

The better late than never award goes to Guitar Hero for their attempt at making a drum set for there already popular franchise.

It doesn't look as good as Rock Band 2's new drum set but It is much better looking than Rock Band's first attempt.

The good thing with all of this is. The more competition the better for us. I wish they would start making new mic stands too with attachable bandanas or something really goofly lame cool. So we can rock out to dude looks like a lady (and gallop around the house) or what ever goofy over the top songs from bon jovi.

Everyone wants to be a rock star at one point in their life.
