When Vivendi merged with Activision in the Activision Blizzard deal, a lot of gaming properties were left without a home (such as Ghost Busters), but today one of the more exciting homeless entities was taken from the streets and given a warm blanket.

Electronic Arts and Double Fine Productions, Inc. today announced that they have signed an exclusive publishing agreement that will bring the highly-anticipated rock-adventure Brütal Legend to gamers, headbangers, roadies and rockers worldwide next Spring. The latest creation from gaming icon Tim Schafer and the award-winning team at Double Fine, Brütal Legend is a 3rd person Action/Adventure game starring 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.

I've been dying for a game like this

Whats the massive appeal for you? it looks interesting, but i can't tell much from that trailer.

Well for a start, it's a new original title from a guy that brought us Monkey Island, Full Throttle and Grim Fandango. Secondly, the theme is awesome and it already sweet cast attached.

Just because there's so much lore in the rock/metal genre, you know, like, crazy fantasy-esque stuff. Couple that with the actual music and throw in Jack Black, a dude who truly understands rock and metal and you have the potential for awesomez

As long as you can use the guitar hero peripherals to impress groupies and ...

I see what your saying about jack black, also full throttle was a classic.
nacho libre is probably the most under rated film of all time.
