The tracks for Guitar Hero: Metallica have been announced, and I’m more amped up than ever for this one.  Guitar Hero: World Tour didn’t have enough fun songs to play, at least in my opinion, but the Metallica edition looks like it will be my favourite GH game yet.  And what’s really awesome about this news, in addition to all the great Metallica songs we all knew would be released, also coming are 21 tracks from other artists, had picked by the members of Metallica.

The Metallica song list is as follows:

• All Nightmare Long
• Battery
• Creeping Death
• Disposable Heroes
• Dyers Eve
• Enter Sandman
• Fade To Black
• Fight Fire With Fire
• For Whom The Bell Tolls
• Frantic
• Fuel
• Hit The Lights
• King Nothing
• Master of Puppets
• Mercyful Fate
• No Leaf Clover
• Nothing Else Matters
• One
• Orion
• Sad But True
• Seek And Destroy
• The Memory Remains
• The Shortest Straw
• The Thing That Should Not Be
• The Unforgiven
• Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
• Wherever I May Roam
• Whiplash

And the 21 additional songs are:

• Alice In Chains - No Excuses
• Bob Seger - Turn The Page (Live)
• Corrosion of Conformity - Albatross
• Diamond Head - Am I Evil?
• Foo Fighters - Stacked Actors
• Judas Priest - Hell Bent For Leather
• Kyuss - Demon Cleaner
• Lynyrd Skynyrd - Tuesdays Gone
• Machine Head - Beautiful Mourning
• Mastodon - Blood And Thunder
• Mercyful Fate - Evil
• Michael Schenker Group - Armed and Ready
• Motörhead - Ace of Spades
• Queen - Stone Cold Crazy
• Samhain - Mother of Mercy
• Slayer - War Ensemble
• Social Distortion - Mommy’s Little Monster (Live)
• Suicidal Tendencies - War Inside My Head
• System of a Down - Toxicity
• The Sword - Black River

I really really can’t wait to play Master of Puppets, Battery, Sanitarium, and Enter Sandman most of all, not to mention Tuesday’s Gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd.  This is going to be the best Guitar Hero yet, guaranteed.

Love Star Ocean?  I know I do, I’m all about any action RPG, and the new Star Ocean game for Xbox 360 looks freaking awesome, and good news, Star Ocean: The Last Hope is coming this spring.  So in the wake of how awesome Final Fantasy XIII’s trailer looked, Square-Enix gives us the freaking fantastic news that we will have a new Star Ocean to quench your RPG thirst while you continue the long wait for the new FF.

And finally, apparently the PS3 is beginning to flop.  Sony still hasn’t made any profit from console sales and are still operating well into the red, and PS3 system sales dropping aren’t going to help.  While Xbox and Wii are reporting more successful sales periods than ever before, Sony’s console is falling flat, and I would have to blame the lack of quality exclusive content.

The Wii can survive with wave after wave of crap, because the system appeals to everyone because Nintendo has made the Wii into a gimmicky family friendly console.  PS3 doesn’t have that advantage, and with Xbox already claiming a much larger stake in the market than Sony’s alternative, I think the PS3 could become the next console to become obsolete.  Sort of like the Sega consoles of years past, meaning PS3 could become the next Dreamcast or Sega Saturn.

But that’s good news for anyone looking to buy a cheap Blu-Ray player, because no doubt the PS3 will drop in price if Sony can no longer move the consoles, so that’s positive I guess. . .
