Better than 'Guitar Hero'? 'Brutal Legend' packs 100+ heavy metal songs
Metalheads will have to learn to operate a game controller while throwing up the sign of the horns. The new Electronic Arts game, "Brutal Legend," has a pretty heavy soundtrack.
With more than 100 songs from 75 bands, the video game, which is scheduled for release on Oct. 13 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, has one of the biggest libraries of big-name licensed songs out of the box.
Jack Black voices the main character, who wields a flying-V axe (for you non-musicians out there, "axe" means guitar) and an, um, axe -- a literal axe. Metal legends Ozzy Osbourne and Rob Halford of Judas Priest lend supporting voice roles.

Brutal Legend is awsome but Psychonauts (the last Tim Schafer game before this)is much better. I would give Brutal Legend a 7.5/10 and Psychonauts (ps2 Xbox) is at least a 10/10. There was talk of a Psychonauts 2 if Brutal Legend sold well so I realy hope Tim Schafer decides to do it. Psychonauts wasn't a hugely popular game but it is my favorite game of all time and the reason that I bought brutal legand in the first place.
