The brainchild of game designer Tim Schafer (The Secret of Monkey Island, Full Throttle), Brutal Legend melds heavy metal rock with medieval-style warfare to create a totally bitchin' Jack Black adventure.
Black voices the hero of the game, a rap-weary rock roadie named Eddie Riggs who finds himself transported to a parallel universe, where rock groups battle for supremacy in a world gone mad. It's the kind of place where Ozzy Osbourne and Lemmy from Motorhead pop up as Yoda-like characters to help Eddie on his quest to free enslaved headbangers.
The heavy metal-inspired world of Brütal Legend oozes with inspiration and potential. Here’s why Brutal Legend deserves a sequel to help realize it.
These games don't get no respect! No respect! Each one of these five is secretly a fantastic title.
Dragon Age 2 was never a bad game but compared to Dragon Age Origins it was painfully clear that they didn't try that hard. Final Fantasy 13 and it's subsequent sequels will always be crap.
Wreckfest is an undersold game, it's absolutely brilliant and more pure fun and craziness than any game on that list.
I really enjoyed all these. I have no qualms with any Dragon Age game. My ONLY problem with DA 2 was how the story just kinda drops and becomes aimless. I was having a blast then... okay... what?
