Rock Band is a hit.

This past Thursday, Jan 31st, Oyen Wiggs Green & Mutala LLP had a staff Beer & Cheer. It’s basically just a staff party once a month to keep morale alive and give everyone a nice break. This one was special. It was supposed to be a “Games Night”, according to the flyers floating the firm. I decided to bring my new Xbox360, and “Rock Band.” What follows is a short excerpt from that evening…

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Yes, that sound was heard a lot. Rock Band was a hit at the party. Multiple people stepped up to try out the drums, guitar, even the singing! I managed to record a bit of video, and I’m very glad I did. This game brings people together like nothing I’ve seen, except perhaps a good ol’ fashioned book burning.

Unfortunately I hadn’t unlocked many songs yet, and we were missing a particular adapter so the sound was terrible… but all in all I think everyone had a great time. This is a game I plan to bring to every event where it would be appreciated. It’s perfect for anyone, gamers and non-gamers, musicians and non-musicians alike, Rock Band caters to all. (The drums are so much fun.)
