Speaking of Guitar Hero, more evidence has been added to the smoldering pile of rumours that Metallica will soon follow in Aerosmith’s footsteps.

Metallica leader Lars Ulrich recently told MTV Multiplayer that “There’s an Aerosmith game out there that’s super successful, and if somebody’s gonna follow that up… We’re talking, and it’s exciting, and the people at Guitar Hero and Activision are rapidly becoming our best new friends in the world. You can put the rest of it together yourself.”

E3 has already kicked off, it seems.

Microsoft have revealed they are to release a demo and trailer of Too Human today to start their E3 campaign with a bang (or thud, depending).

Silicon Knights’ Too Human, a game combining action and RPG elements, follows the story of Baldur, a cybernetic Norse god, trying to protect humanity from ‘the machines.’ After 10 years of brewing in the bowls of Silicon Knights, and a release date of August 29th (in the UK), Too Human is sure to feature heavily in Microsoft’s E3 proceedings.

You can grab the demo and trailer on Xbox Live later today, though a Gold membership is required.

As Halo fans will no doubt be aware, today is Bungie Day or 7/7 and marks the release of a new Halo 3 multiplayer map called Cold Storage, inspired by the original map Chill Out from Halo: Combat Evolved.

These items will only be available for today so make sure you don’t miss out. Today also sees the Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack dropping to 600 Microsoft Points.

The number 7 has always played a significant role in Bungie games and this significance eventually gave rise to Bungie treating fans to new content or a free download on 7/7. To see how many references there are to the number 7 in the Halo universe head over to the Halo wiki.

Set in 2065, the game sees the armies of Earth’s Global Defense Force facing up against the alien Strogg race in a fight for the planet. Quake fans can choose to battle in the desert, Arctic and tropical environments using either the modern military tactics of the human Global Defense Force or the Strogg’s alien technology.

Players can enjoy mission-based multiplayer warfare both against AI offline and against friends online, with each side featuring distinct classes, vehicles, tactics and weapons. The game features team-based combat with players able to earn experience in order to gain new skills.

The demo for Ninja Gaiden 2 has sneaked its way on to Xbox Live Marketplace.

Initially Major ‘Larry Hryb’ Nelson had whispered to gamers that the demo, released in Japan last week, would be available for the remaining Xbox Live regions except India and Germany later this week.

This is great news for gamers who have been eagerly waiting to grab themselves a copy of Rock Band.

Lock on to Xbox.com in the next couple of weeks for details on participating retailers.

Ninja Gaiden fans will also be able to download three unique Ryu Hayabusa costume packs on Xbox Live Marketplace. They will be available from July and will be priced at 200 Microsoft Points each.

Here is a first look at the first of the three costume pack designs. It is Fiend Hayabusa and is based on the falcon.

According to the press release it is “Inspired by the Hayabusa family’s namesake, the falcon, this demonic costume mirrors the intensity of Ryu’s vengeance and fury as he fights to regain the honor of his clan. It’s almost as if he’s been transformed into a Fiend by the evil powers of the underworld with this costume – but retains all the honor of the Hayabusa Ninja Clan.”

Stay tuned for details on the other two designs. Until then you can check out our earlier coverage of the game including screenshots.

A demo of the game is due to hit Xbox Live Marketplace this month so keep your eyes peeled
