X-Play writes: "One of the most popular metal bands of all time, Metallica has made the leap to video games with Guitar Hero: Metallica, and X-Play has a review to see if they rock as hard in the rhythm game format as they do in real life."
Pros
* Is basically Guitar Hero: World Tour with a set list that rocks (literally).
* Zombies!
Cons
* Is missing their coolest covers and some bands we expected (Sabbath, Misfits…)
* No Jethro Tull.

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?
I laughed at Metallica's favorite inside joke "No Jethro Tull" as a con. Classic!
