You no good son of a [expletive]!

Does "screenwatching" have anything to do with "punchin the munchkin"?

Ok - had a $65 Best Buy reward coupon to use (purchased a Mac several months ago which helped towards this). Was looking for the new Mario game for Wii, but they were out of stock, so I went with Band Hero.

I didn't realize that this simply was another guitar hero release -- lots of previous songs are transferrable, and there are a bunch of new ones. My daughter absolutely loves it!! They have 3 Taylor Swift songs, a Hillary Duff, Aj & Aly & some other girl/girl band songs. They really expanded their genre/song list & it's an absolute blast to play!

I've been having so much fun with these music games -- playing stuff from the Beatles to Van Halen, AC/DC, Rolling Stones, Taylor Swift, Finger Eleven (Paralyzer - cool song!), and even the Village People!

Just fun family playing time!! Even our 5 yr old is becoming better with the guitar.

Careful what you play or you might catch Joce talking to you through your TV. My gf was playing on my account last night and didn't know what was going on...Cracks me up.

I'm really getting into Dragon Age...finally getting a handle on the controls and quickly switching party members, setting up ambushes, etc.

My brothers used to beat the [expletive] out of me because I screen watched on Golden eye. There were times where I was doing it so badly, I would look back at my character to see I've been running into the same wall over and over again.

It's the same price on amazon too. That includes tax and shipping.
