Gamedaily writes: "Thanks to over a billion dollars in revenue (and that's not even counting the World Tour sales), Activision's Guitar Hero franchise is here to stay. In fact, you'll see a brand new entry this spring called Guitar Hero Metallica. This compilation features several tracks from the thunderous Bay Area rockers, along with new modes that will let you know whether you're the "Master of Puppets" or "King Nothing."
All of the band's current members – Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo and James Hetfield – went through several hours of motion capture to bring their virtual selves to life. In the game's story mode, you'll follow them through significant locales, including The Stone nightclub in San Francisco, the Hammersmith Odeon and Tushino Airfield. Photos, videos and behind-the-scenes footage are also included, and the game adds a more realistic appearance than last year's Guitar Hero Aerosmith."

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?
