-Guilty Gear series
-Guitar Hero series
-KISS Pinball
-Holy Diver
-JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
-Lollipop Chainsaw
-Lords of Thunder
-Mega Man X5 (Robot-masters are based off of Guns 'N Roses members)
-Metal Slug 5
-MUSHA
-Painkiller
-Paranoiascape
-Power Gig: Rise of the Six String
-R-Type III
-Resonance of Fate
-Revolution X (That Aerosmith game)
-Road Rash series (3DO/Saturn/PS1 era)
-Rock Band series
-Rock 'N Roll Racing
-Rocksmith
-Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
-Splatterhouse
-Super Robot Wars series
-Thunder Force series
-Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series

What else have you got?

The Guilty Gear series is worth looking into, as many of the characters are based on various rockstars or influenced by rock music.

If you are going to just include stuff with metal-centric soundtracks like LoT, this list won't be very useful.

Terminator 2? I have the T2 The Arcade Game on SNES, don't remember too much hard rock/metal, unless you count the Terminator theme.

How is Rock Band or Guitar Hero Metal or Rock influenced?

Sure they have rock music, but they are also inspired by the B-52's and MC Hammer.
