I think the only songs I could stand were Born in the Fifties and Truth Hits Everybody. Now thanks to the metric ton of Police tracks Harmonix have dropped on me, I'm actually really liking all these tunes... Even Roxanne. Same deal with that Killers song. I used to hate it, now I think it's brilliant. Hooray for Rock Band expanding my horizons. I always HATED the Police prior to Rock Band.

The PS3 is pretty much in the same boat as the Wii - I play it for a couple weeks here and there, when a new exclusive comes out. But yeah, Rock Band is great. The DLC keeps me coming back to it regularly, which is great. Message in a Bottle by The Police this week - come on! There's now like 6 or 7 songs by The Police, aka one of the greatest bands of all time. ;) Even at the best of times for the Wii, I'm still playing my Xbox 360 more.

The instruction manual filled that void and I don't feel like a tool when I'm playing any more. :P I learned the controls quick from button mashing, but I didn't know how to do certain moves.

Saw a couple replies you sent my way. I disabled the "new follower" email notifications as I couldn't keep up with them. So replies, DMs and seeing friends reply to others is the only way I'm really finding new people these days. Nice, yeah I added you on Twitter. Saw a couple replies you sent my way.

I have a Wii, but lately, my PS3 has been BLOWING me away. I may purchase brawl, but Rock Band has thoroughly captivated my friends and I.

A few minutes of random button smashing and you learn the controls and from there on in it's just a load of fun. It's a great game to play with people if you're not in the mood for something such as Rock Band. This is probably one of my favourite games at the moment.

Total asshat. He was a badass in the tennis game though. Oh, and AGREED re: Waluigi. Total asshat. He was a badass in the tennis game though.

I hear you about the Nintendo sequels. This one is truly as close to perfect as the franchise can be taken. I'm not playing ALL the time at the moment (back to Rock Band with the wife), but this is definitely a game I'll be coming back to for years. By the way, I've been following you on Twitter.
