Watching the Guitar Hero and Rock Band franchises slug it out over the past year has been like a heavyweight prizefight for the ages. Right cross! Neversoft gets Aerosmith. Haymaker! Harmonix nabs AC/DC. Kidney punch! Neversoft scores Tool. Uppercut! Harmonix bags The Beatles.
With both heavyweights bloodied and battered - as OXM's plastic guitar–wielding fans reap the benefits - what could Neversoft possibly swing back with? You guessed it: Metallica!

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?
