"On Wednesday, I was invited to San Francisco to check out Neversoft's and Activision's new Guitar Hero title, Guitar Hero: Metallica. The event was loud, dark, and packed full of plastic peripherals. Before the event, I thought I had a problem stowing my plastic peripherals. Whoever set the stuff up at the event must have a huge closet, or a significant other that doesn't mind seventy guitars strewn around the living room.
So, yeah, I got to play Guitar Hero: Metallica. As you can imagine, it rocks in all the right ways. I came away from the event with the feeling that Neversoft really got the band. And that's a good thing, especially since Metallica had a heavy hand in the decision making for the music and venues in the title."

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?
