Staying In
With the plethora of music-focused games coming out at the moment my wireless guitar has never been so busy. But with so many different games giving you the chance to harness your inner rock god (or indeed goddess) all vying for your cash, is Guitar Hero: Aerosmith worth opening your wallet?
For the uninitiated, Guitar Hero gives you the chance to play your favourite songs on a guitar shaped controller. You select your song, choose a difficulty and away you go. A fretboard scrolls down your screen with coloured notes on it, and you hit the notes by hitting the corresponding colored button and strumming as the notes scroll toward you. The better you are the more points you get - and the less likely you are to be booed from the stage by your fickle crowd. So far so absolutely fun.
George Lucas needs to stop. After the horror of the Star Wars prequels, this summer sees Indiana Jones dusted off - with the almost-septugenarian Harrison Ford putting the iconic hat on one more time. The film is, well, disappointingly mediocre.
As Brad Pitt himself almost said, the first rule of Rock Band is don't talk about Rock Band. And the second rule of Rock Band is don't talk about Rock Band.

When a game lands on your desk that has legendary director Steven Spielberg's name on it you think you know what you're going to get. This is the man behind Saving Private Ryan and the Indiana Jones trilogy after all - so there's going to be swashbuckling, lush next gen graphics and an all encompassing story to make the heart swell.
