Well, it’s finally happened. Someone has taken the great gameplay of Guitar Hero, and ported it over to the PC. Yes, ladies and gentleman; you now have a legitimite reason to hold your keyboard like an axe.

The legitimacy is provided by Frets on Fire, a fun freeware effort. I’ve had neighbors look in the window while I’ve been playing this great game, and the confused looks on their faces were completely priceless.

While the base install only include a few songs, you can download new ones at Keyboards on Fire. While the selection is a bit small at the moment, it’s growing each day.

If you’re a geek who’s ever had delusions of rock star grandeur; I don’t think there’s anyway better to work it out of your system than to play this game. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to duct tape a neck onto one of my spare keyboards.
