Response to E-Mails/IMs About Rhythm Games

I’ve been getting some e-mails and IMs about music games, especially way back when I did my review for Guitar Hero: Van Halen, about which series I prefer and which instruments.  Another common question is the best price to get for them.  With Rock Band 3and Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock coming soon that means new instruments coming out and the older ones getting cheaper.  I will say this, retail stores seem to be major rip-offs for the most part so check eBay or Amazon for some good deals on new and used.  I have provided some links below.  My instrument preference?  I prefer the Guitar Hero guitars and the Rock Band drums (as long as there are the cymbols added on), although I do like having the Guitar Hero drums for GH games and they are growing on me.  Also below is a nice deal on the Band Hero Super Bundle ($100 for the game, mic, guitar, and drums.  Can’t be beat and the songs can be exported into GH5).  To those that contacted me, was this enough info or would you like something more in depth?

Xbox 360 and PS3 Review: Guitar Hero Van Halen

cover I grew up with an older brother that had two favorite bands playing constantly: Metallica and Van Halen.  With the great Metallica released we both had high hopes for the Van Halen version plus it was free making it even better.  Seems like Activision knew they had to give it away.
