After seeing the features of Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero: World Tour, I am tempted to buy another new console and the latest incarnation of one of these rhythm games.  The fact that Rock Band 2 has Judas Priest is a great selling point, but the fact that it has Painkiller as an included track is just awesome!  Have you heard that song?  Rob Halford has AMAZING vocal ability.  Whether you are a fan of Judas Priest or not, you must admit he has great talent.  What a range!  

The rest of the tracks for Rock Band 2 look good.  I haven't seen the track list for Guitar Hero World Tour yet.  Let's see what we have here. Mostly rumors.  I'll wait.

What I'm liking so far about Guitar Hero IV is the peripherals first.  The drum set looks amazing, and I have been told from E3 that it is pressure sensitive, opening all sorts of windows for new drum hits and sounds.  Cymbals have been raised and look almost like flaps.  As a child of the 80's, this looks like a synth drum set I've seen in countless bands.  Time will tell how durable the equipment is, but I would assume it will hold up.

GH4 will also give players the ability to make their own music, upload it to the network, and share it with their friends online.  Mixing boards allow them to move stuff around, similar to Audacity.  These features look pretty good.  I now need to see track lists.  The winner will be the one with the best Judas Priest and Led Zeppelin offerings.

Do you like high speed chase scenes?

Do you like miniature and more fuel efficient cars?

DO YOU LIKE ROLLER SKATES?

If you answered yes, I still must warn you that nothing could ever prepare you for what you are about to behold.
