At DNC, Rock the Vote Rocks Guitar Hero

At DNC, Rock the Vote Rocks Guitar Hero

August 30, 2008

Recently, GamePolitics reported that Xbox and Rock the Vote would be teaming up on voter registration at both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions.

Here's some brand-new video footage of Guitar Hero being played on a big screen at a Rock the Vote DNC booth. We presume the game is running on an Xbox 360.
