After kicking off our Beyond the MMORPG column last week, I have been wracking my brain to come up with the next game to highlight. Some of the obvious choices sprung to mind¡­ I could have talked about Neverwinter Nights 2. That¡¯s a game that resembles an MMO. I could have talked about Halo 3, after all, it launched at midnight last night.

This week though, I wanted to take a look at a game that has had, for me, the same addictive quality that you get from a good MMO. It¡¯s a game that I¡¯ve spent entire days playing and even more impressively, it¡¯s a game that I¡¯ve spent numerous hours on my feet playing. Any game that can get me standing up for hours on end deserves a little bit of attention.

The game I¡¯m talking about is Guitar Hero 2 for the Xbox 360. Yup, that¡¯s right, we¡¯re talking about a console game here at MMORPG.com (although we should probably all get used to that, as it¡¯s the wave of the future).
