TeamXbox writes: "Today, Activision and Microsoft added a little metal to Xbox Live Marketplace when they dropped a Guitar Hero: Metallica demo into the catalog. We jumped on the trial, which clocked in at just over 1GB, to see how it sang.
For starters, we went to the Backstage area before jumping into the gameplay. The only option we had was to go into the Rock Star Creator, which shows you the pre-made characters you can select from (with many familiar faces, if you're a GH veteran), as well as a Custom selection for making your own rocker. Again, much of it is disabled for the demo, but it gives you a idea of how much you'll be able to tweak and tune (and what can be altered) to get your own musician to look just the way you want."

In many ways video games and heavy metal go hand in hand, at least when their digits aren’t occupied with a multiplayer match and/or mind-melting guitar solo. A huge number of games revel in the savagery metal is known for, letting you eviscerate armies of enemies just as soundly as fierce riffs eviscerate mortal souls. Games like Gears of War, Manhunt, Dead Space, and Postal are all examples of carnage, violence, and destruction, so they're totally metal, right?
Brutal Legend soundtrack it's epic, probably one of the best ever. Shadows of the Damned it's awesome, so underrated, sadly.
Bayonetta and Twisted Metal are classics, i still need to play Splatterhouse.
The rumors are swirling, so The Geek Culture has a few suggestions on how Activision can bring back Guitar Hero right.
Ubisoft announced recently that it will be releasing a new guitar-based video game called Rocksmith. Unlike Guitar Hero and Rockband, this game will allow gamers to actually learn how to play the guitar rather than just pressing a set of colored buttons.
So is Rocksmith the guitar game aspiring musicians have been truly looking for?
Gay, we didn't get a demo : (.
