Brütal Legend is an action-adventure that marries visceral action combat with open-world freedom. Set in a universe somewhere between Lord of the Rings and Spinal Tap, it’s a fresh take on the action/driving genre, which in this case is full of imitation cover bands, demons intent on enslaving humanity and Heavy metal tunes. Featuring the talents of comedian, actor and musician, Jack Black as super roadie Eddie Riggs, as well as cameos by some of the biggest names in metal music it’s a wild ride in the belly of the beast that is not to be missed by gamers and Metalheads alike.

It’s finally nice to see the Ps3 getting some exclusive and free DLC these days.  the newest of these offerings comes by the way of Brutal Legend.  The epic fantasy nod to all things metal will receive it’s first DLC next month with a multiplayer map pack entitled “Tears of the Heaxadon”.

With the DLC being released on both the Ps3 and the Xbox 360. the PS3 version will be the only one that’s free.  Available from November 5th until November 19th the content will be free at the PSN store, while the Xbox 360 version will cost 400 MS points when the DLC arrives on November 3rd.

That reminds me, I gotta put this game in my GameFly queue.
