GameSpy writes: "If you've ever played a Guitar Hero game before (and sales figures would suggest that you probably have), there's a very good chance that you've got a short list of bands or songs you'd like to see in upcoming iterations. While you might have some obscure favorites scattered here and there throughout your list, there are a few bands that are requested more than all others. Although we're still waiting for some Led Zeppelin action, March will see the release of an entire Guitar Hero game dedicated to one of the most influential metal bands of all-time: Metallica. We finally had a chance to check the game out for the first time last week, and it looks like it may be the hardest-rocking Guitar Hero game yet."
Spiffy:
+Tons of great Metallica songs
+Expert+ mode supports dual bass pedals
+Extras will excite hardcore fans
Iffy:
-Non-Metallica songs are hit and miss
-Will Expert+ mode be too hard?

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?
