There is a great open source game floating around on the net entitled, Frets on Fire. This game is open source so that means that it doesn’t cost you a thing to download. The way this game works is thay you can download songs, google Frets on Fire songs, and add them to the game and using a legal version of the song you downloaded you can play it, just like Guitar Hero. There is also a Guitar Hero theme for Frets on Fire that emulates the sounds and looks of the popular game which you can find on Google.So how do you play it?Well you can use your keyboard to play the game but how is that fun? You can use the USB guitar from Guitar Hero 2 or 3 so long as its the USB version, which the Xbox 360 version it is. Now this works like a charm for Windows XP, I have yet to test it on OS X.Can I play Guitar Hero songs?The answer is yes if you can find a file, as mentioned before, that allows you to play the song but you must own the song, legally! Of course you can search for “frets on fire” on your favorite torrent site and find a song pack or two but thats illegal and I cannot tell you to do that.
