TVGB writes: "The care that was taken with the game is obvious as RedOctane are fans of the band and we had a blast living out our hard rocking fantasies. Yet, at its heart, Guitar Hero: Metallica is a typical Guitar Hero game with a few added features. The bottom line though is that if someone is not a fan of rhythm based games, this will not win them over unless they are a hardcore Metallica fan".

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?
