The VGA awards passed (the what?) and while it seems most were disappointed, we did get something good out of it: first looks!
First off, we’ve got Brutal Legend, because I brought it up earlier:
Personally, I’m so excited for this. Some of the jokes are kinda lame, but overall I love the idea so much. I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Next we’ve got God of War 3:
Cool, but I’m personally unimpressed. I think it’s more of a “yes, it’s happening” trailer more than a “look what we’re doing that innovative.” That said, I dug the first one, but I don’t think this’ll make me purchase a PS3 to play it. But that’s just me.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves:
I actually dug this. I never played the first one, but it looks interesting. Nice trailer.
And finally, GTAIV’s DLC, The Lost and Damned (great name)
I think I’m one of the few people who actually doesn’t enjoy GTA games. So I’ll obviously be skipping this. And really, do you have to show the names of people who I don’t know about? Saying this character’s name is “Billy” only means something if I know the character. Like, oh snap, Billy’s back. But then you realize his name is “Billy” and they could mean any “Billy” that you’ve ever met, because let’s face it, that name isn’t exactly a rare name to hear.

Brutal Legend seems pretty epic not gonna lie. The one Tenacious D CD with Wonderboy and Explosivo redeems some of Jack Blacks blunders (School of Rock also great).
Agreed. I think that the humor and creativity of Tim Schafer mixed with Jack Black’s delivery and pathos will really bring this fun game to life. I was rewatching some Psychonauts footage and man, that game was a blast. I may have to dust it off and replay it (or download it from Xbox Originals).
Psychonauts was really really fun and definately engaging enough to keep my attention throughout the entire game. I certainly don’t have the patience or time to finish every game I pick up (I’m looking directly at you GTA IV) but this sucker MADE me finish it. And it was trippy, which is always a plus. I remember a ball you float and bounce on, that was cool.
