Heavy Metal Video Games

Hm, I tried to gather all the heavy metal games, hehe...

Most metal of them all must be Holy Diver. The Japanese video game in which you play as Ronnie James Dio (as he appears in the "Holy Diver" video) in a world inspired by the dark athmosphere on the album. Many references to other bands and artists as well, including Slayer, King Crimson, Zakk Wylde and Randy Rhoads.

Doom may be one of them. With a ambient cover of Metallica's "Master of Puppets" in the well-known soundtrack, as well as many other heavy metal inspired ones.

Rock 'n' Roll Racing is an old Super Nintendo game (I think) which featured ambient covers of Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" and Deep Purple's "Highway Star" among others.

One of the tracks in Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage is a ambient cover of Black Sabbath's "The Mob Rules".

The racing game RoadKill featured songs by Judas Priest, King Kobra, Blue Öyster Cult among others in its main soundtrack.

Then we have the Grand Theft Auto-games which includes songs by Dio, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Mötley Crüe, Krokus, Queensrÿche, Danzig, Ozzy Osbourne, Guns N' Roses among many others.

And of course the Guitar Hero-games.

Someone who knows if there are more of the heavy metal games?

Hehe, forgot about that KISS golfing game in which you played as Gene Simmons.

there is a kiss pinball video game for the playstation

I remember a local bar that used to have a Ted Nugent Weekend Warriors pinball machine....

Bevis and Butthead! I think Gwar was in it too

Yeah, that one is featured in the movie "Detroit Rock City". You can see it in the background when one of the guys tries to rob the kid on his KISS tickets.

Didn't know it actually existed though, cool!

Well, I forgot about Brütal Legend! The up-coming heavy metal video game which starrs Jack Black, Rob Halford, Ronnie James Dio and Lemmy. And... Rob Halford will be voicing the evil glam metal king! And your enemies will be My Chemical Romance fans, looks pretty nice. They used "The Mob Rules" in the trailer and Judas Priest's "The Hellion" and "Screaming for Vengeance" is played on the games website. I can't wait for it.

The game will also have exclusive music by Judas Priest and Zakk Wylde, among others.

Oh yea I forgot about that one too. Look decent. Not sure if i'll get it though when you got Call of Duty 5 and Gears of War 2 right around the corner.
