Metalocalype, the heavy metal animated series on Cartoon Network, is getting the video game treatment, according to Brendon Small, the show?s creator. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Small said he worked with Konami to produce Metalocalypse: Deathgame as a downloadable title for the PlayStation 3.

If you are a fan of the show, you?ll get an extended plot in the game, but you won?t get a chance to play as any of the members of Dethklok. The game follows roadies fighting for Dethklok, instead.

?The first idea was we make the band merciless and murderous but that doesn?t work on the show,? Small said. ?Our show is really about five narcissistic super-celebrities who can?t open the door for themselves.?

There?s no official word about the game from Konami, but we expect to hear more during this week?s Comic Con.

I love watching the show. Dethklok are freakin' awesome. Still, their music should have been given the Guitar Hero or Rock Band treatment rather than their own, possibly crappy game.

those games are overated. they should have there won game but i dont think im gonna like how this plays you can paly with none of the characters. but maybe this leaves the door open for a boondocks game
