Kurt Cobain, From the Muddy Banks of Uncanny Valley

  • 8/28/09 at 5:00 PM

You've played as Jimi Hendrix and Johnny Cash before, so it's not like Kurt Cobain is the first, or most recently expired, dead rock legend to be tastefully reincarnated as a Guitar Hero avatar. Even so, this new clip from GH5 of a digital Nirvana doing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Lithium" is the most we've been creeped out by a video game since the original Resident Evil. Thankfully, you'll have to complete a number of in-game challenges before you can control Kurt, and we are not very good at Guitar Hero.
