Rock Band
If you haven’t noticed by my Gamercard above, I’ve been playing quite a bit of Rock Band lately (pitiful Gamerscore notwithstanding). It’s a great party game because you can have one person playing guitar, one playing bass (provided you have an extra guitar), one singing, and one playing drums. Good fun!
One major issue with Rock Band is that the drums are incredibly loud. As such, there are several mods floating around teh intarnets to help remediate this issue. Below are some of the ones that seem to be most accepted amongst the geek culture.
