One of our favourite games this year comes from the brilliant Double Fine Studios and the mind of one Tim Schafer. It stars Jack Black as a roadie who gets transported back in time to an era where everything reflected metal iconography; hot-rod exhaust trees, boars that are half motorcycle, spiders that spin guitar strings for web... honestly, what's not to love?
Brutal Legend is an excellent game with an amazing story, tight scripting, great voice-acting and some of the best art-direction I've ever seen in a videogame. It also has one of the best soundtracks ever.
For our full run-down, check out the AusGamers review.

Still awesome though, some of the most fun I've had playing a game for years!

Either way, wasn't a very long game and replayability isn't really there (other than loading it up later for the fond memories). But DAMN it was good! Worth every cent and I don't care about it's length because it was done soo right.
Though the review read more like a step-by-step walkthrough for the intro (which i agree was brilliant).
Still love all the comments when he first gets his wings and the moment with the guardian of metal when they both say nothing... And LAZER PANTHERS! Man, maybe I WILL have to play through it again :D
