D+PAD Magazine Writes:
By now videogamers will be well versed not just in the mechanics of guitar-based music games, but the entire critical discourse that surrounds them. It's almost as though this review doesn't need to exist; here's the introduction, there'll be the odd paragraph on how this is just glorified DLC dressed up as a standalone disc, and a little bit on the odd changes that may have been made since Band Hero and Guitar Hero 5 were released just six months ago. The only section that betrays the shifting fortunes of this once dominant and financially phenomenal genre will be the one that focuses on falling sales and drifting consumer interests – a far cry from the notices of 2008, when Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero: World Tour were set to launch and everything was still so exciting.
Sometimes, gaming soundtracks can introduce players to bands and artists they've never heard of. This article is all about Matt's five favorites, thanks for gaming.

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.
