Frets on Fire - Guitar Hero for the Computer!

Frets on Fire is a game that is made for the computer that emulates Guitar Hero. The graphics aren't the best, but then again neither is Guitar Hero's and who's paying attention anyway? The game works on all of the major operating systems (PC, Mac, Linux), although from what I've heard, it's very buggy on the Mac. So what's better about it? Well, for one it's open source and therefore free. It also lets you make your own songs. A lot of people have made songs already for pretty much every band. I went ahead and grabbed a bunch of Rush songs last night and was jamming to 2112, Tom Sawyer, and Circumstances, it was great! I found it to run a bit sluggish in Vista, but my guess is that is partly Vista's fault. To top it off, you can buy a Playstation to USB adapter for your Guitar Hero controllers and hook them up to your computer to play the game. Only problem with the whole thing is I don't see any multiplayer, so it looks like Rock Band will blow it away, but I thought I'd mention it in case people were interested in playing around with it.
