Some battles work at the level of mindless conjecture. Shark versus alligator, Superman versus Batman, Ali versus Tyson.

At least Tap Tap Revenge 3 and Rock Band are both in the App Store at the same time - although you'd be a fool to say either is the loser.

Tap Tap Revenge 3 has been in the #1 position in the US Top 100 for the past two weeks, while Rock Band has jumped to #4 within two days of release.

And priced at $9.99 compared to TTR3's 99c, it's no surprise that it's also top of Top Grossing chart. Tap Tap Revenge 3 has the second placed spot.

What's more significant however is the amount of cash respective publishers Tapulous and EA Mobile are making from the option to download extra tracks.

Alas, no one's has seen fit to release such data, nor can we assume Apple is including it within the Top Grossing chart - although technically surely it should?

However, when it comes to review scores, we rely on our iPhone editor Tracy Erickson. He scores the competition evens at 7/10 versus 7/10.

Surely time for a fret-off?
