Do you think it's a coincidence that the main character's name, Eddie Riggs, bares a strong resemblence to Iron Maiden's zombie mascot Eddie, and the artist who first drew him, Derek Riggs? I think not!

As a metal fan, this just looks so cool I want to splurge a bit. I might just have to buy a 360 just to play it.

No Pc? Meh. I'm tempted... will putting up with the crappy controls be worth it?

perplekks45 1st May 2009, 12:33

Hmm... to buy or not to but? I'll wait for a proper review.

Read a preview of it in, I think, 360 Gamer a while back and it's been on my 'WANTS!' list ever since :-) Just need to decide whether to get the 360 or PS3 version ... something the preview neglects to mention (at least I didn't see it) is that as well as Rob Halford, there's also some voice acting done by Lemmy. Hell, YEAH!

Still can't help feeling that the whole thing looks like the ******* offspring of Fable 2 and Spinal Tap though ;-)

Man, no PC again!? Draaaaag...

Oh well, maybe 360's will drop to $149 by the time I want to play it...

My feelings about this game cannot be expressed in words, so instead just imagine a face melting guitar solo and a topless chick with a hot rack.

That is all.

Looks awesome, I'm amused.

something Eddie and Ophelia generally have to accomplish on their own as Lars is far too busy being all charismatic and blonde for most of the game. Damned hippy.

D*** I'm blond, long haired, listens to hard rock And my name is Lars.

This better get on the PC or i'll be severely disappointed

m0o0oeh 2nd May 2009, 14:03

As soon as I saw the cover image for it, it instantly went on my "WANT!" list, along with Mirrors Edge and LBP for the PS3

alpaca 2nd May 2009, 21:06

PC! PC! PC! PC!

if we scream and headbang hard enough, maybe they will make a (decent) port!

crompers 4th May 2009, 22:29

will defo be getting this on ps3 cannae wait

Xir 8th May 2009, 11:58

Bah!

I read the entire review without realising it's console only *grrrrr*

Apologies for the zombie thread, but this didn't really justify starting a new thread.

For those of you who haven't seen this yet, there's a video of the first 15 minutes of gameplay over at gametrailers, complete with commentary by Tim Schafer.

It looks cool and all, but I'm just wondering whether I'd be thinking the same if it weren't for the presence of Jack Black - would it just be another hack 'n slash game without him?
