As you know, we're working on a new title at the moment - specifically on the wide ranging subject of computer games. While some of us have Nintendos, Playstations and PCs at home, we've had to learn more about computer games and so, to get into a gamer's mentality (ahem), we've installed some of the top consoles out there in our break out area. It's been interesting to see what everyone in the office likes to play and who is best.
The Wii has been very popular at lunchtime, where you can try a spot of golf or maybe have a game of bowling, but the current favourite is Guitar Hero. There's been some quality thrashing going on at the end of the working day and especially when we had some of our top gamers into the office for a wee party and photo session. Of course, none of us were as good as them, but I'd have to say (if pressed) that I'm best within GWR at the moment as I can pass the first stage at 'expert' level, but Kate, Jane and Matt were all quite good. We've got two 'guitars' now, so there'll have to be a showdown and see who will manage the pressure best!!!
We also took a trip to Leipzig for a games convention - this is where we first saw Guitar Hero and decided that we needed to buy it in the interests of research. From chatting to the real gaming enthusiasts, we got the impression that they were really looking forward to it coming out and there certainly seems to be the demand for this title. It was a great time with some passionate people and it also gave us some more ideas for records - fastest time to play the tetris theme on the piano maybe? - and content for the book so that it's what the gamers want.
The book should be ready by the end of the year and out in February some time, so keep your eyes peeled and try for your highest scores. I'm off to wield my 'axe'...
