Press Release
Guildford, UK – August 10, 2009 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) and Double Fine Productions, Inc. today announced the complete soundtrack for Brütal Legend™, the face-melting action video game from Tim Schafer starring Jack Black as the roadie Eddie Riggs. Boasting an impressive list of more than 100 fist-pumping tracks sure to make your blood boil, Brütal Legend puts metal’s most celebrated rock gods in the forefront of this unique third-person action experience. With a total of 75 killer bands showcased, including legends such as Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Megadeth and Motörhead, Brütal Legend will unleash the inner headbanger in every gamer on October 16.
Brütal Legend is an epic action game from visionary developer Tim Schafer. Jack Black stars as Eddie Riggs, a legendary roadie summoned to a world of Heavy Metal where mountains are made of amplifiers, killer spiders spin guitar strings and Rock Legends roam the landscape. As Eddie you crush skulls with a battle axe, ravage the road in a super-charged Hot Rod and unleash the power of Rock to reign down fire from the sky – all to save humanity and become a Brütal Legend.
”This soundtrack took years to put together as we wanted to represent every genre of Metal, and also have the perfect music for every epic moment in the game,” said Tim Schafer, President of Double Fine Productions. “It’s designed to be loved by Metal fans, and for those who are not, it will either convert them or make their heads explode… or both.”
“It would be a grave disservice to merely use the term ‘Ultimate Heavy Metal Soundtrack’ here,” said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Music Marketing for Electronics Arts. “Instead, what we’ve unleashed is without question the most mind-blasting, face-melting, skull-shattering alliance of Classic Metal, Thrash Metal, New Wave, British Metal, Black Metal, Power Metal, Doom Metal, Death Metal, Hair Metal, Goth Metal and Industrial Metal ever decreed by The Gods Of Metal. Its very existence will condemn your soul to eternal brütal damnation. Yes, it’s that good.”

What Have You Played This Week?
Football Manager 09 – PC – Still going strong. I've been playing as San Marino, the club not the nation though they both do share the same name, location and stadium. It's interesting as I don't really try out the Italian leagues much.
Crackdown – Xbox 360 – still unsure what to make of the game. I've done two islands now and working through the third. There are a lot of things I don't like about the game, like the camera and auto aim, but there are things i'm starting to enjoy more, like exploring the open world. The need to find orbs helps explore the world, the argument could be made that the green are too many and too easy whilst the blue are too few and too hard, but at least it makes the player explore. I've killed 2 bosses by accident cause I was just out hunting orbs. Yet, in a game like Burnout Paradise, the ability to find billboards fails to interest me at all. For a launch game this still holds up well, though it does show it's age now and then.
Not much this week i know, just didn't feel much like playing another game, that and i want to get through Crackdown so i can send it back and get a new game.
