Footballer Hero?

The Games Day Podcast is a fun and informative Canadian-grown Web show that I’ve been watching for the last few months. Hosted by a trio of guys in London, Ontario, the podcasts consist of game reviews, industry speculation, and discussions about game culture.

It’s entertaining stuff. But, perhaps more importantly, I can always count on these fellows to direct my attention to interesting game-related items. Like this video:

And here I was complaining about DJ Hero being physically demanding.

I don’t know much about this odd but interesting experiment other than what was written in the short blurb accompanying the video, which states that it was an attempt to create a three-storey-high guitar game controlled with soccer balls kicked by a team of “insanely gifted young freestyle footballers.”

Regardless, thanks, Games Day guys, for picking up on this. And keep up the good work.
