I use my little finger for the 4th button, which I find makes things much easier. When I move onto the Hard level songs I position my hand on the right of the buttons, and use my 1st finger for the 1st and 2nd buttons (unless I need to use two fingers for a chord). It's got to the point now though where I move around with my fingers as needed, I have a good idea in my head where my fingers are most of the time so I can move around with less problems.

Have you done the Top Gear theme tune? (Jessica) It looked proper hard when Phil did it. And that was on easy :/

It does seem to be the case that guitarists find it harder. Drz played it when he was here for the Liverpool Meet, and despite being a good guitarist he really struggled on it. I used to play myself, but not to a good standard, and have found that the finger dexterity I gained definitely helps.

As for Jessica, I can play it perfectly on Medium level, and not got that far yet on Hard (though I suspect to start with it will kick my ass, I'm passing the Hard songs first time generally but almost always with 3 stars).

I'm playing Forza again, getting back into practice before Forza 2. Great fun.

I like Forza, wish I hadn't gotten rid of it now, it was a great game, much preferred it over the GT series. Definitely looking forward to Forza 2

I never got on with forza

Loved the GT series but was never hugely keen on forza.
I tend to prefer arcade style racers though.

Next week I'm taking a week off from my nice mountain of work, and I think I might be succumbing to FF7 for a bit

Damn bug in SCDA - Can't progress... damn console conversions!!!

I'm going out to buy STALKER today.. notice there is a patch out for this already.

edit- Installed STALKER.. looks superb @ 1920 with highest settings

I only had a play around on the first level.. looks great.. and will start playing it Sunday night .. I'm not sure which level to play at..

Looks like a mixture of DeusEx/BF at first glance.

I got C&C3 in the post a couple days ago. Some good stuff there, the old C&C formula

I'm getting NBA Homecourt on the 360 today so I'll be playing that later. Also been playing Test Drive: Unlimited a fair bit recently, great for just cruising around listening to some music, with the occassional race as well

I'm sure its the lack of a wheel for use with driving games, but I found Test Drive Unlimited beta to have such a weird feel to it. I really didn't get on with the driving physics at all, some bizarre mix between real and arcade. *shrug*

Aye, some of the cars can be really hard to control, but after a while (a long while with some cars) it gets easier
