Last night a bunch of us coworkers gathered at a friend’s place for music and rhythm-based games. What a great time we had!

We played Guitar Hero, a game where the controller is a guitar with multicolored buttons for frets. Press the right buttons at the right time and tip the guitar in a cool way to keep the song playing correctly and score points. Next thing you know, you’ve got two non-musicians performing in perfect harmony. Too much fun.

Next we popped in Donkey Konga, which had four of us sitting each with a set of bongo drums and banging and clapping away in four-part harmony. That was my favorite.

The night finished with Karaoke Revolution. The best were the rounds where song picks were randomly selected by the console, yielding some pretty odd results.

I now have a few more ideas for my Christmas wish list!
