At a recent Guitar Hero III battle at our friend Dave's house, one combatant suggested that the game would be a lot more fun if Activision were to release an SDK (Song Development Kit) to allow bands or their labels to create Guitar Hero versions of their songs, which users could then download from the online marketplaces accessible from today's gaming consoles.

Until then, there's Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe 2 – a surprisingly evolved online flash game that lets you play a Guitar Hero-like game using keyboard commands. Like the real game, this site awards points for hitting notes on time, deducts them if you miss, requires that some notes be held for a certain amount of time, and increases the multiplier when you're on a roll. It also saves your progress automatically, so you can unlock new songsand guitars as you go.

If you find yourself in the grip of a brutal Guitar Hero addiction, a quick lunchtime fix of SCGMD2 just might tide you over until you can get home to your plastic guitar.

Update: Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe 3 has been released, including 14 new songs, 10 new guitars and a smattering of new features.
