Now that Guitar Hero and Rock Band have become big hits, video game companies are expanding their rock-game offerings. Electronic Arts has just announced the release of rock-adventure Brutal Legend. Brutal Legend “stars” Jack Black in the role of roadie Eddie Riggs, who sets on an epic quest to build an army of rockers with only a broad axe, a big block V8 and his faithful guitar in hand. Sounds fairly interesting.

Guitar Hero and Rock Band must have been big hits during holiday season, now it is time for more games and content.
