Huzzah!
I’ve heard that Braid kicks all sorts of ass as well. Goodbye money!

spacebucks?
Who has lost interest in this game?
*raises hand*
Seriously, I’m willing to wait for a little while for a game, but I think I first heard of this damn near 2 years ago, if not longer, for a beat-em ‘up game that looks like it will probably be OK, not mindblowing. Not interested.
Morty, have you gotten to play it at all? It’s fun. I agree, not mindblowing, but better than okay. Multiplayer is where it really shines though.
