[QUOTE="pezpunk, post: 22250, member: 951"] whoa whoa whoa. i find this comparison completely specious. guitar hero isn't even attempting to model actual guitar playing. you are pushing colored buttons in time to a rhythm, not playing notes or chords. (not knocking the game, just saying it is not and is not trying to be a guitar simulator). same thing with Tony Hawk -- they are not attempting to model real skateboarding skills. you can argue (successfully) that the tables in PBA are more forgiving than their real-life counterparts, but it IS pinball skills (if an incomplete set of pinball skills) that are being leveraged when you play. anway ... back on topic ... i love the iPad because i can carry it around with me and play anywhere in the house at a moment's notice.
