As a huge Tim Schafer fan (Grim Fandango, Psychonauts), I was thrilled to hear of confirmation of his latest creation Brutal Legend.

Brutal Legend tells the tale of Eddie Riggs (voiced by Jack Black), a heavy metal band roadie whose freak guitar tuning accident lands him in the middle of a Nordic fantasy world where demons have enslaved the human race. Sound weird enough? That's Tim Schafer for you.

Below is the first trailer released for the brutal little game. Expect Brutal Legend to hit Xbox 360s and PS3s at an undisclosed date in '08.
