Oh, those crazy Canadians. CBC News has posted a cute piece about the state of the music-game market, complete with suggestions for new games in the genre.

Like this one:

Guitar Hero Hero: Game publishers have hooked people on simulating the playing of real instruments, what about simulating the simulation of playing real instruments? Players would use their regular console controller to direct the actions of an in-game character playing a plastic guitar, who in turn strums along to music he watches on his TV. It could be the beginning of a Guitar Hero Moebius strip, like a painting of a painting, where players sink deeper into a never-ending well of simulation, further removing themselves from reality and making the game makers richer every step of the way.

Check out the whole article. It’s an entertaining read even if it takes something of a bleak tone regarding the outlook of the genre.
