- Ars Technica reviews Brutal Legend, calls it heartbreaking near-miss.
That's a shame, I was really rooting for this game. The demo was thoroughly fun to play from start to finish but apparently some of that gameplay was the best it had to offer.
- Have a peek at Tim Schafer's application to LucasArts circa 1989.
Since I figured I had blown the interview, I had nothing to lose. So I did my cover letter in the form of a semi-graphic adventure. I drew the pictures on my Koala pad, and printed the whole thing out on my Atari 800 dot-matrix printer.
- Watch the first five minutes of Tim Schafer's Brutal Legend.
Yep, I'll be buying this (as if I had any hesitation before-hand anyway). Also of note for those still on the fence, demo version comes out on Xbox 360 and PS3 tomorrow.
- A list of the top ten video games that nobody actually bought.
Pyschonauts makes it onto a list like this yet again. It's available on XBLA for those of you looking to give it a spin. Bonus: here's a great video review from Zero Punctuation sums up everything nicely.
- Brutal Legend demo to hit consoles in September.
The demo opens as Eddie awakes in the age of metal where he must quickly learn how to use the powerful ancient axe, 'The Separator' and electrifying guitar 'Clementine' to unleash combo moves that destroy the demons of darkness.
- Take an introductory video walkthrough of Brutal Legend.
Includes commentary from Tim Schafer as well.
