So I’ve been meaning to do a post like this ever since Guitar Hero: World Tour first came out.  I, of course, have both of these games and play them all the time (well, when I’m not playing World of Warcraft, of course).  I’ve loved Rock Band since before I even bought an Xbox 360, and I became addicted to Guitar Hero 3 when we first got our Wii, so when I heard that Activision was doing GH:WT, I was instantly excited.  I love playing drums on Rock Band, so I couldn’t wait to try it out on GH:WT.
