Rock on! - Frets on Fire

Many of you have probably heard about the video games Guitar Hero (I, II, and III) and Rock Band. Well, my geeky leanings have paid off once again!

I just found out about a game called Frets on Fire (FoF) that is free (as in beer) and free (as in speech -- more on this in a later post). For the geek-inclined, there are ways to modify the sounds & graphics used in the game and even ways to make your own songs for the game.

FoF works on Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can use your keyboard to play, or you can play using a Xbox360 Guitar Hero wired controller if you have one (or check Ebay if you want one). I haven't played the game yet, but hopefully I'll get around to it this weekend.

Rock on!
