Who is the best videogame-themed rockband?

I think it comes down to The Megas, Stemage, and Game Over.

Minibosses only play the songs as is, which is still cool, but it lacks the creativity of the previous three. Their production is kinda shitty, and they're pretty bad live, too. Megadriver is worth a mention, although they are a bit bland, and being that the music is mostly from the genesis games, its not as recognizable. The Advantage just plain sucks.

So as for my top three...

The Megas http://www.myspace.com/themegas

These guys cover megaman songs, and add lyrics to them. Most of it is cheesy, but enjoyably so. Gonna buy their album. They've got six songs on the myspace page, and one of them is available for download at OC Remix.

Stemage
http://www.metroidmetal.com/songs.html

Been a fan of these guys for a long time. No lyrics, but easily the best of the three, in terms of the guitar work. And the production is also the best of the three. Everything sounds clean, and almost professionaly done. On top of all of that, every song they make is free to download at the aformentioned site. Honest to god, the only bad things I can say about them is that they very rarely do anything outside of metroid, and that their name is kind of bland.

Game Over
http://nintendometal.com/
Basically like the megas, except a bit more talented, and they cover all nintendo games. Definitly worth checking out. Like the megas, they have a few songs to check out on the site, but to hear them all, you have to buy the cd's. Although Galbaldia Hotel has the first cd available for download.

So, I'd say my favorite is stemage, easily. Free music, and it's damn good at that. What say you, videogame forum?
