A new video game allowing players to strum a real guitar instead of tapping buttons on a fake instrument will be introduced at this week’s Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. Developed by the Boston based Seven45 Studios, Power Gig: Rise of the SixString, will come with a functioning six string electric guitar and a standard amp allowing players to hit specific strings to produce chords. A beat matching mode, similar to that of the hugely popular Guitar Hero and Rock Band will also be a feature. Power Gig will be available for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and will also work with existing Rock Band and Guitar Hero games. A price has not been announced.
