The Top 10 Sneakers? Check. The Top 10 Albums? Done. The Top 10 Style Essentials? You already know. Today, we continue our Best of 2009 (so far) series by turning our spotlight on the industry that's sending a big "eff-you" to the recession. Yup, no matter the state of the economy, video games are still moving big units. (Really, is there a better way to escape our crazy world than ensconcing yourself on a couch and button-mashing the pain away?) This year has seen the return of some all-time classics along with a couple Sony exclusives that almost (almost) make the PS3 worth it. Find out what games we picked and why in the countdown below...
#10:Guitar Hero: Metallica
GENRE: Music
DEVELOPER/PUBLISHER/PLATFORMS: Neversoft/Activision/360, PS3, Wii, PS2
RELEASE DATE: March 29
THE COMPLEX CO-SIGN:Guitar Hero (and Rock Band) are like the boat shoes of the video-game world: While we're getting sick of the whole phenomenon (and the countless versions of them), we can't deny their sheer ubiquity—or when they're executed totally right, like GH: Metallica. To rock out in a rock game, you need a proper rock band, not fucking Cheap Trick or Sum 41. Metallica's catalog is tailor-made for the GH experience, and while it's not an ambitious title, GH: Metallica delivers what it promises.
