Imagine a video game so realistic, so vivid and detailed that you reach an elevated awareness while playing. The type of awareness and connectivity with all methods of input… where there are no filters.

It can be difficult to understand how to enter cheat codes, especially if you aren't familiar with video games. For this reason I've created several pages in the past that describe in great detail the steps needed to activate a certain code on a specific gaming platform. Even with this extra material available there are situations where the given code examples may not be enough help. Or even worse, some of the codes add to the confusion.

Music games are a great way to bring people together, and there isn't that great of a learning curve involved. This is especially true if you've already played an instrument or otherwise helped with a musical organization. Of course, if you've tried everything and still can't hold a note and you fear you'll have to retire the guitar... then now might be a good time to look at the cheats for Band Hero.

Cheats for Band Hero come in a variety of flavors (Xbox 360, PS3, and Nintendo Wii), just select the one you enjoy the most.
