Here at the site you may have realized that, among other things, we’re really fond of video games. In fact, we try to feature as much gaming coverage as we can because we like it so much. So, with that in mind, we’ve got the first of today’s two new trailers for upcoming games to share with you.
This one is for the brand new Electronic Arts and Double Fine title Brutal Legend and features a look at the story of the game and gives you a lot of insight into just how fun this game is going to be. Plus, it features the game’s main character Eddie Riggs (voiced by Jack Black) “rocking out on his heavy metal revolution.”
In the game, Riggs “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. When an oppressed people request Eddie’s knowledge of modern warfare, he pulls from his own experience in the only occupation he’s ever had, a roadie for a Heavy Metal band. From this springs the most hellacious army man has ever seen, and thus brings this ancient world into the Age of Metal.” Awesome.
Brutal Legend hits store shelves on October 13th. In the meantime, click through to check out the brand new story trailer.
