ZeroTolerance writes: In case you have been living under a rock or perhaps in a cave for the past few years you may have heard of a small game called Guitar Hero. Likewise unless you have been segregated from reality for some time you may also be familiar with a little band known as Metallica. Well Activision has certainly banked on the idea that you may be familiar with both of them with their latest chapter in the ever-growing Guitar Hero saga. Guitar Hero Metallica is the latest in what is quickly becoming a trend, of single band iterations of popular music games. The market is obviously out there as this is the third band specific title to land so far, with at least one more on the way this year. Of course any game of this type is judged by its music, and I can say with utter certainty that Metallica's tunes were made for this type of game.

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?
