The Beatles, Metallica and Van Halen are set to compete to see whose video game spin-off will triumph in the Music Game Of The Year category at the Golden Joystick Awards.
The bands, who have amassed over 300 million album sales between them, have all released their own branded games over the last 12 months; The Beatles in the form of their much-hyped Rock Band game, whilst Metallica and Van Halen have both put their names to new additions of the popular Guitar Hero series.
