There are over 100 songs by 75 bands featured in Brutal Legend, Tim Schafer's love song to heavy metal songs which has gotten so much good press that it's not likely to be his swan song.

Oh my. I actually wrote that. It's staying. I have to punish myself or I'll never learn.

In addition to all those... tracks, there are quite a few uncredited excerpts from relatively unknown bands interspersed throughout the game. If you catch yourself thinking, "Wait, if that wasn't 'Soul Thrashing Black Sorcery' by Skeletonwitch, what was it?", please refer to this handy list of uncredited heavy metal songs in Brutal Legend.

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes
Just another friendly reminder from LucasArts that yes, Star Wars is still being run into the ground, and they've recently struck magma. 2/10

Risen
If you don't mind an RPG where the primary quest is to find the game's interesting and fun bits hidden beneath awkwardly implemented features and a sloppy presentation, you might actually have a good time. 6/10

Brutal Legend
The best game about heavy metal since Psychonauts. 8/10

Uncharted 2: Drake's Fortune
If I could travel back and tell my six year old self that one day video games would be this cinematic and full of detail, I would have turned my current self in to the Anti-Time Travel Task Force because I'm just that stone cold. 10/10

Demon's Souls
The only game where you could probably die in the character creation menu and LOVE IT. 8/10
