Electronic Arts has a solid track record of memorable, accessible software. Their early venture into professional sports franchises–and the way we played them–was ground-breaking at the time and they continue to innovate with new additions every year. As they branched out development into their “BIG” games (arcade style sports games like NFL and FIFA Street) they have had a hand in the way we think about the evolution of gaming.

Take their Black Box expansion acquisition of the “Skate” engine and how they combined innovative analog controls with intuitive, realistic skateboarding–something that no other game in history has been able to accomplish before. Read more about Brutal legend below.

Teaming up with “Psychonauts” brilliant creator Tim Schafer–formerly of LucasArts–on his second adventure with his growing company Double Fine, EA has again shifted the thinking of the gaming public by combining action-RPG elements with the one-of-a-kind Jack Black against a heavy-metal-and-Nordic-mythology-inspired universe. This is Brutal Legend.

Known for its wailing guitars and distortion effects, heavy metal music carries a dark tone in its entire catalog. Likewise, a metal show is typically more of a collective experience than a staged performance of capable musicians.

Combining the raucous energy of a heavy metal show, a hot rod demolition derby, and a classic dungeon crawler, Double Fine has tweaked some fresh ideas and thrown them into the mix, providing a once-of-a-kind gaming experience.

Brutal Legend opens backstage before a massive live concert, where Eddie Riggs–the greatest roadie in the history of ‘Rock’ is ready to send his band of misfit emo-rap-metal-bangers onto the stage. He reminisces of a time where the music was better… The late 70’s.

Suddenly, the immense statues he constructed come crashing down upon him and when he awakens he realizes he is in a strange world where evil seems to rule. Armed with an axe, he slashes his way to safety, where he finds his beloved “Clementine”–the other kind of axe–in her majestic six-stringed beauty.

If you are familiar with Double Fine’s action comics or free online games, this sense of humor shouldn’t surprise you. Of course, casting Jack Black to deliver your epic lines is pretty genius too. Half of the dynamic musical comedy duo, Tenacious D, Black is well known for his quirky, high-energy personae, which translates fluidly into the ogre-sized roadie who must save the land from evil. It is a deep, introspective examination of a world without ‘Rock’, and what one lowly roadie must do to restore it, and ultimately peace in all the land.
