While I was away sick in the hospital,
I was reading through some of my old Gamepro magazines,
and came upon an article by one of my fave
freelance gaming writers, Mr. Joe Rybicki,
detailing the so called game "Power Gig: Rise of the Six String".
In the article Joe Rybicki,
chroniclized whether the song set list or gameplay
make the music rhythm game successful.
I have heard about this game before,
and although I never had the opportunity to have
played this game and it's unique six string pro guitar,
which you are playn an actual guitar for this game,
but due to the massive success and jaggurnaut
that Rock Band series is,
you can see why this game never took off.
But you know what, take one look at it's exclusive
set list and you'll become intrigued by it.

ERIC FREAKN CLAPTON MAN! ERIC FREAKN CLAPTON!!!
Rock solid set list,
only thing is, I have no idea if the GH guitar
and RB guitars are compatible with this game.
With a song set list like this,
that is pure rock gold,
I wonder why it never really took off.
Ima have to check this one out.....
