Think you have what it takes to make it in the music industry? Test your skills (https://s.p10.hostingprod.com/@gilligames.com/ssl/store/product_info.php?products_id=28&osCsid=80bdc90e391181daca2b58bdb5a8 d7e9) with Shady O'Grady's™ Rising Star, a new video game where you start out as a rookie musician and work your way up to rock-stardom.
From the day you first strummed a broom like a guitar, or sung in front of the mirror with a hair brush, you've dreamed of becoming a music star. Now you can live that dream without leaving your home!

In Shady O'Grady's™ Rising Star, you start out as a rookie musician, and work your way up to stardom. However, success doesn't come without hard work. You must join other musicians with compatible personalities, write songs, and practice practice practice! Go out on the town, to get familiar with the local club scene, until the day comes for your first gig. Eventually, you will deal with larger venues, managers, producers, record contracts, product endorsements, and more.

Choose your starting city in the continental United States, and conquer as many cities as you can while on tour. You can even buy a home in each city, to make visits more convenient than staying in a hotel or motel.

Customize your band with tons of clothing and hair styles, as well as hundreds of different kinds of equipment. You can even get a custom paint job on your band van.

I wonder if it will let you kick groupies off of the tour bus and piss on them if they don't wanna go down on you

My friends and I have always talked about how fun a game like this would be. So reading this kind of got my hopes up. Based on the screen shots though, I am not too impressed.

There are a couple online music business games that you can play for free. Its not exactly your typical video game where you control a character, but basically what you do is tell your character what its focus should be and as it updates it will improve certain skill slowly.
One of the games is called Popomumdo (http://www.popomundo.com/common/index.html)
Popomundo is a slower paced game and more realistic. It can be very complex and requires a little searching to discover how to do things.

The other that Ive been playing for a while is Music-Maven (http://www.music-maven.com/mm3/)
Music Maven updates nightly at 10pm est. Basically you schedule your bands time. You can have them tour, rest, or write new songs. Its tough at first but as you get your stats up things start to come together.

There another one called The Rock Star Game (http://www.therockstargame.com/)
I have never played this one so I cant tell you a thing about it.

Have fun and if you join popomundo or Music-Maven, look me up my band name is The EasyKill. I have my own record label on Music Maven too, called EasyKill Entertainment.
