Very nice read, well thought out.
You should have asked if there is any way the release date could be moved closer.
As much as I want the game to be awesome, I'm still having a hard time swallowing that score for Bayonetta.
There is nothing at all wrong with "the bouf"
Nice interview Ben, looking forward to your review.
That's pretty great
Looks like you guys are hitting your stride!
Do you think you'd play through it again just for laughs? I do this periodically with Psychonauts.
I was a little skeptical about whether I would enjoy Brutal Legend, as I'm not the biggest Jack Black fan and am also not super well versed in the history of metal music. But after playing the demo I'm now champing at the bit to play the full game and was glad to see your review coincides with my high hopes for the title.
I'm curious if Uncharted 2 will garner some respectable sales stats after it's great Famitsu score, It'd be nice to see a western game burning up the Japanese sales charts.
I know most didn't play it all the way through, but the final boss in Conan for X360 and PS3 has to be one of the most unfair and cheap boss battles ever designed.
Great topic, you should consider making it a regular column and taking on a new concept each week. Off the top of my head I can think of about a hundred more you could add to the list.
I think the game Brink which is receiving a great deal of positive press lately is proof that that visual art style could be viable in today's market and with the Crytek engine behind it a new TimeSplitters would potentially be very solid.
Nice job guys!
Great list, I think Trials HD deserves an appearance too though.
I really need cross the border and check out the event next year
Definitely with a voice. It always takes me out of the experience being asked a question by in game characters and having them respond as if I answered it. It all just feels incredibly silly.
That's true, it is a completely different animal than the previous games. But one could argue the gaming landscape in general is in a different place also, maybe a new game in the old style wouldn't hold up anymore.
Nice, did they have any of the Daft Punk stuff running?
I completely disagree with the review score but I do think your review is well written, and is well thought out. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.
