Required playing from the week in games.

"Brütal Legend" casts Jack Black as Eddie Riggs, an axe-wielding super-roadie who battles demons in a fantasy world that's like a heavy-metal album cover brought to life. The game features more heavy metal than is probably safe for human consumption, and voice acting by legends like Rob Halford and Lita Ford. Every game could use more "Kiss Me Deadly."

Also in stores this week:
-- "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves" is the sequel to the acclaimed adventure game "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune." Hopefully the inevitable movie adaptation will turn it into the next Indiana Jones and erase all memory of "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."
-- Does the Olympic committee know about "Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games"? Are plumbers allowed to participate? At the very least, Sonic should be investigated for illegal "juicing."
-- The "Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition" packages the hit game along with five downloadable content packs.
