Week 1

The game I chose to play for this semester was Rock Band. This is a game that allows you to play the guitar, bass, drums, or even be the lead singer of a band. I chose this game because I like listening to rock music and even though I have never been musically talented, I will now be able to rock out and jam to some of my favorite classic rock songs. This game is interesting because it involves active learning, rather than most passive learning video games that just require using a controller. Rock band comes equipped with a guitar, a microphone, and a drum set to make you feel like you're actually playing the music, not just pressing buttons. I have always wanted to play the guitar, but unfortunately I was never taught properly. I am hopeful that I learn a lot about the instruments in this game and maybe when I am done playing I will actually take up guitar.
