Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
RATED T
Joe Perry thinks 'Guitar Hero' just might be the antidote the world needs to dial down the poison of games such as 'Grand Theft Auto.' But then Joe Perry's the guitarist for Aerosmith and doesn't see anything wrong with jamming to Slayer. There's more to discuss than violence vs. music here...

RATED M

RATED M
The first game in this franchise was intended as a sequel in the 'Resident Evil' series. Now this spin-off of sorts rivals its predecessor's scorched gaming world in terms of both fan base and moral temperature.

RATED T
