Gaming Age: "Even if you felt burnt by the Aerosmith branded Guitar Hero title, don't let that hold you back from giving Metallica a try. It's a far better effort, and honestly I'm having more fun with this than I did with World Tour at the moment, and while I can't say that the game will appeal to a non-Metallica fan, it's worth trying out for the improved note charting if nothing else. Online mode works great, local band works just as well, and if you really want to feel like a Guitar Hero, just wait till you get done jamming out to songs like For Whom the Bell Tolls, Battery, and Nothing Else Matters."

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?
