Bit-Tech writes: "If the answer is yes to both though then it's an easy recommendation, being brilliantly presented and packing a veritable "best of" set list that'll delight even a casual 'Tallica fan whilst keeping all the challenge and fun that's made Guitar Hero so enormously popular in the first place. The feeling of actually playing a guitar (even if you are just fingering five brightly coloured buttons and a clicky strum bar) is as compelling as and even more convincing than ever before. If you're a fan of both the band and the franchise then this really is the best match made in Metal Heaven that you can expect to find until Brutal Legend hits shelves later this year".

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?
