On difficulty levels

An article which discusses... difficulty levels in gaming... Whilst it does make specific references to games and their difficulty levels, I personally thought one of the hardest games for the average gamer to pick up and enjoy in recent years was avoided from the list - Guitar Hero - and so decided it needed some reflection.

The article also discusses that each game has its own version of 'hard', that whilst hard on a shooting game might mean theres more enemies on screen, Hard on guitar hero will fuck. you. up. If you have never played GH before.
