KISS Psycho Circus: The Nightmare Child may have been absolute trash, but Rolling Stone thinks it “rocks” because it “helped to reinvent the band for a new generation of tech-savvy comic book fans as virtually animated saviors of humanity.” In the music publication’s new article, “The 50 Best Rock & Roll Video Games of All Time,” Rock Band Rolling Stone Unveils Questionable List of Most Rock & Roll Games, Guitar Hero (Wii) Rolling Stone Unveils Questionable List of Most Rock & Roll Games, and Rez are expectedly mentioned, but so are duds like Make My Video and and Spice World.
