This is awesome news. Several people had said that we should have Guitar Hero at the Downtown Center and now maybe we can have a great version of it.

Christian Guitar Hero to Hit Shelves in the US

 

The devil, it is often said, has all the best tunes – now it turns out he owns the best interactive video games too. Next month, a Christian take on the Guitar Hero game, called Guitar Praise, is set to hit shelves in the US.
 
For those who enjoy bashing their plastic guitar controller to the unsavoury sounds of the Slayer, Alice Cooper and,  Tenacious D – you might want to think before purchasing. After all, Guitar Praise features an entirely Christian-rock song list, making it more appropriate for those who want to brush up on their Jennifer Knapp power chords.
 
Despite the game coming with a plastic wireless guitar, it is not affiliated with the original Guitar Hero, which has made over $1bn since launching in November 2005. The Digital Praise website claims, “Guitar Praise can be an exciting group event. Having the lyrics onscreen reinforces the positive messages present in Guitar Praise’s roster of songs, and allows everyone to take part in the game.” It goes on to add: “You’ll soon be rockin’ with the best while praising the Lord!”
 
Sadly, the game is only being introduced for Mac OS X, and Windows Vista and XP at the moment. For those wanting to pray while they play, a full list of songs can be found at digitalpraise.com.

But watch out: if you can’t keep up, the artists will take a break and stop the music. Crank it up and try again – you’ll soon be rockin’ with the best while praising the Lord!
