Game of the Week: Frets on Fire
For the humour in the tutorial alone, it's got to be Frets on Fire. Now you finally get to live your dream of a rock star, have groupies and unprotected orgy fests. But first you must take a lesson from the begrudgingly Juergen, your instructor and the local guitar god extraordinaire.
Learn how to hold the keyboard in the coolest way, and you won't need to spend a few months' worth of allowance on a special controller. Song selection is rather limited, and the game itself is still undergoing revision but this is one title that is already showing plenty of promise. If you're no good with the strings, there's at least one or two good laughs to be had from the experience.
Placed first in the Assembly '06 competition. (Scroll down for the results, under the Competitions tab) For more instructions, click here.

hi firesword, the frets on fire web site confirms this alert as false under the downloads section. it secured first place in an Assembly competition, so I'm certain that the judges will not allow such a thing to happen. F-Secure had also issued an apology for the false alarm, plus I've run it through an anti-virus software myself before posting, so no worries. :)thanks for the link, soilworker! :)
