But what is this new craze sweeping the nations? It's a guitar hero like game but with your keyboard!
Anyway,
Frets on fire is an open source game that provides quite a bit of fun

It's played using your keyboard like this,

Of course you don't have to hold it like that but I do as I do better this way. (If you are going to die because of this, you can also use your guitar hero controllers if you can plug them into your computer) Before asking, "How do we play it?!" Download it, and do the tutorial. Once you've had your fun with the three songs given, register at their forums to gain access to the mods and tune downloads forums! Many people are updating it with their favorite songs and best frettings yet by using the song editor that is provided with the game.
The download for the game can be accessed

The forums are

Don't forget to post your thoughts of this here!

Finally found where I could find new songs for FoF (in other words, the first time I've looked). Downloading a few songs from GHIII..

Used to have it. I'm too used to the guitar hero guitar, not keyboard keys. So I stick to guitar hero. Fun while it lasted tho'.

Yeah well, I don't have GH
Big complaint: Due to something I don't really think is FoFs fault, I can't hold down enough keys at times, making it impossible to hit some notes. (Like, if I hold down - | - | |, where -'s are things i'm not holding down and |'s are things I am holding down, I can't do it, so I miss the note. So does - | | | -.
Also, on the keyboard I exclusively use for FoF, the input cable goes right where the default keys are, which I think worked. I had to move the keys to something else otherwise it was impossible to hit the note on the far right that's only in hard and expert.
Otherwise, cool. I wish I had a GH guitar or something to use instead, it's so much easier.

Buy a used GH guitar from somewhere. Theres tuts on the FoF forum on how to mod the GH guitar to work for PC.
Edit,
Actually, the tuts are on scorehero forums.

If I was going to buy a GH guitar, I'd just buy GH3 for PC/360

Obviously, I just didn't know Pepsi would be doing something like FoF.

Or, you could download the GH theme and song pack for FoF.

Well, since I can't play normal games on my Xbox now, I guess I'll download this...
;_;
(I actually downloaded it earlier, but whatever.)
