Hands of Stone and Two Left Feet

Both qualities pertain to me, yet for some reason in the past week I have picked up both Guitar Hero 2 AND Dance Dance Revolution: whatchamacallit for the 360!

My fingers are far from dexterous, and I definitely dance like a white guy. So why did I buy these games?

Guitar Hero 2. I bought this mainly due to the buzz around this game. Seems everybody digs it. Also, I really dig Elite Beat Agents for the DS, so I figure this game will be just as enjoyable.

DDR: whatchamacallit. 2 reasons I bought this game as well. For exercise. To get my wife playing games too. She said she'd be interested in it, so here's hoping I can get her lazy ass away from the computer to get jiggy with it.

Do I regret any of these purchases? Hell No! At least not yet. I fumbled my way through Easy in GH2, then went into Medium. It started kicking my ass. I've since went back to Easy and began working on 5 star ratings. I'm almost done with that, so in 5 or so playing sessions, I've definitely shown major improvements. DDR2 - I really, really suck at this so far. If I am not getting the timings right, then I am fumbling trying to center myself back on the mat. I find myself getting off center quite frequently on the mat, which is annoying, and causes me to miss steps. I get the impression the packed-in pad is kinda crappy? Anybody know of a better pad? Preferably not one that will break the bank (so around 50 to 80 bucks I guess).

Oh, and go ahead and laugh at me playing DDR... I'm a big man, I'm okay with my wussy game purchase
