I'm giving up life when Guitar Hero 3 comes out

[Raditzu]

I'm debating whether I should get Rock Band or not, because I know for a fact that GHIII will take up my life for a long time. Do I really need that twice over? And what about all the other games coming out near this holiday season, like Halo 3 and Assassin's Creed?

I'm in the same position. Money > Me. But really, between GH3 and Rock Band, I'd go with Rock Band.

With just a Guitar, you can play through Rock Band on both the Guitar and the Bass, as well as play either of those instruments with other people online. And then, even if those get boring, a mic is only $30. Which adds, basically, another game to what you already have.

You also have to keep in mind the kind of music. With GH3, you have a pretty good idea of what kind of stuff you'll be playing before you get into it (even if you don't know all the songs on the song list, like me). But with Rock Band, they're shooting for a much wider variety of songs (variety in terms of genre, btw). To me, that's a serious plus for Rock Band, but that's definitely going to be different from person to person.

Don't get me wrong, I still think GH3 will rule, but if you can only get one or the other, I'd go with Rock Band.


I'd say get either GH3 or RB, then Halo, and then Assassin's Creed.
