Anyone else thinks this looks like a great XBLA game?

Saw that video last night as well, absolutely love the look of it. I almost want a 360 just so I could play that game. It would be awesome if they port it to PC, but for some reason, I have a feeling they won't.

I'm in the same boat. A 360 is just a bit out of my price range(well, a lot out of my price range)

That does look amazing. I enjoy platform games in general and am currently in love with Splosion Man, also available on XBLA. If you haven't tried it out already you should, the character is hilarious and it's genuinely enjoyable sploding everything

Looks good, I liked the Homestar reference in the achievement "My head A-Splode." These kinds of games are my favorites!

Looks like a fun game ! It will be bad if they won't release it for PC

Speaking of 2.5D platformers , I enjoyed Trine wich was fun but short.

Dang, it's not coming to PC. Maybe they'll port it over to PC, seeing as it's UT3 technology.

Orson Scott Card is my favorite author. That makes me want to get this all the more!

I was surprised by how..cool it looks. Really brought me. Reminded me a lot of Flashback for the Sega...characters look similar, and they're both armed with a single gun and start off in a 'jungle' area that leads into a strange complex...nostalgia factor.

...wish I had a 360 for this I hope they bring it to PC as well.

Looking forward to it, but it'll probably take a bit of effort to get me away from BF:1943, that game is so much fun on XBL, kinda reminds me of when 1942 first came out.

It must use the Unreal engine or something, the effects and visuals are great.

Ai. I just bought 4200 points to buy GTA:SA (1200), Fusion Frenzy 1 (1200) and Dark Corners for Gears of War 2(1200). I'm guessing this'll cost 1200 too, so that means I'll have to swap out something. Probably Fusion Frenzy.

Yeah, don't bother with old Fusion Frenzy, it's got some real issues on the 360 - slowdown, jittery sometimes, its really best saved for the original Xbox, you'd only be dissapointed. But don't bother with Fusion Frenzy 2 either - for some reason the XBox was best for these 4 player party games IMO, Kung Fu Chaos for example was brilliant fun with 4 players. The 360 version of Doom is horrible too, I'd still play the add-on version for Doom3 for the XBox, smooth and glitch free in comparison.

At least your getting a solid game for your money with this, I mean I copied my Fallout3 save to my bros 360 to play Point Lookout, and completed it in 1 go, for 800 points they can keep it!. It's just a shame that they feel they have to charge so much, compared to GTA4:LAD, which has hours of good gameplay added, new vehicles, weapons, even multiplayer modes.

Couldn't agree more. Its everything I wanted Bad Company to be.

Shadow Complex looks visually stunning, but I'm never any good at 2.5D shooters. Small Arms on XBL arcade put me off. I wasn't sure if it was the game, or the genre.

I thought the storyline was pretty ridiculous, but other than that it looks well executed

Good to know that I'm not the only Giant-Bomb user here. That game looks pretty sick. Definitely a purchase, if it gets ported to PC.

Woot for Giantbomb!

And yeah I'm getting this. I love Metroidvania games. And this one is 2.5d! And it's in the Empire Universe. It just spells WIN in my opinion.

Van B, I'm sad I bought Fusion Frenzy 2 way back. I so enjoyed Fusion Frenzy I thought if they took the normal 'more games, more fun' route for part 2, it couldn't be a bad thing. They screwed it up beyond any belief. Many thanks for the warning tho', that sorts out my problem .

Lucky you! Giantbomb is my number one video game website right now, they have fairly good coverage of video games and the whole team is pretty funny overall. Anyone else following the Endurance Run of Persona 4?

Oops. Col Mustard, on the XBL vid said it was taking a first time player 10-12 hours to play through. I did find a page stating 6, however. Oh well... 5-8 hours is less, but you are right. It is still worth it!

I guess it depends if you count going back to every room and getting all the collectables as part of finishing the game.

I just played through the trial and it seems to rock - so it looks as though I'll unlock the full vers. I just need to get me some more XBOX points.
