Action-adventure game Brutal Legend may take place in a Nordic/rock and roll fantasy realm but it will feature some real-life rockers. One of the musicians making an appearance is none other than Ozzy "Prince of Darkness" Osbourne.

The involvement of Osbourne was revealed by Brutal designer Tim Schafer at EA's press conference. It's not clear what character he plays in the game but he's lent both his likeness and voice.

Well, it's a step up from reality TV and cell phone commercials. Ozzy's only other foray into gaming, to my knowledge, was his World of Warcraft commercial a year or two ago.
