It's time for another Fanpoll kiddies. This week we take on one of gaming's most pressing questions: Rock Band or Guitar Hero III? Neither of these games are available just yet, but they're both right around the corner. We're sure many of our readers (pssst ... that's you!) already have at least some idea of which one they desire more. As such, we ask that you follow your heart and place your vote accordingly. Once you place your vote, feel free to explain your reasoning in the comments. Also, you'll find the results of last week's Fanpoll, skate Vs. Tony Hawk's Underground, after the break.
Wow. So skate pretty much ruled last week's vote, taking home a full 88%. Judging by the comments, the key factor here is innovation. As one commenter mentions, it's ironic that innovation and EA are used in the same sentence in a positive light, but there you have it. It seems that Tony -- Jackass with skateboards according to OTAM -- is getting stale. That's not to say that Tony Hawk doesn't have its supporters, but skate is the clear winner here.
1. It's not even a comparison to me anymore. I understand there's a higher cost of entry for Rockband, but the possibilities of it are pretty amazing. I'm EXTREMELY excited about the full album DLC too. It's a very big deal to me and I hope it's priced reasonably. I'll be getting the Who album they announced right away. That was kind of the final blow for me.
There's a lot of stuff I'd like to see on there, but one that comes to mind would be Weezer's Pinkerton. That would be fun singing or on guitar or on drums.
I also have to admit that I'm not fond of this new guitar battle mechanic in GH3. The addition of power ups and stuff kind of just doesn't interest me at all.
