#2 Posted by ashbash (360 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

I don't want to dye by anything which has 6 sides to it.

#3 Posted by Steve_C (1750 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

It has to be better than 'by Pube' at any rate.

#4 Posted by Wiseblood (589 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

I didn't realize robots had so much blood.

#5 Posted by RichLee (55 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

Yeah... randomly bloody cubes doesn't look that interesting.

#9 Posted by Jynx (12 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

#10 Posted by Davin (233 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

Another quick death. I, for one, am not disappointed in Brad. *thumbs up*

#11 Posted by Kirbichu54 (119 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

This ain't no You, Me, & the Cubes....

#12 Posted by sam77 (3 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

#13 Posted by gosukiller (2324 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

Brad is pulling us into 2010, classic style.

#14 Posted by buzz_clik (6725 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

Its red oil not blood right? Since they're robots?

#16 Posted by defaulttag (890 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

Similar to Zombie Apocalypse. Looks interesting.

#17 Posted by onimonkii (2314 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

3 brads pulled in under 2 minutes. a new record

#18 Posted by Quacktastic (1066 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

This game looks pretty cool.  I could do without the giant blood splashes, but yeah.

#19 Posted by squidracerX (757 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

this is not a game i would buy at all, BUT: 
why is the 360 getting all the square enix love? they got the puzzle quest type game, they got that planes verses aliens game, and now this.... if microsoft "bought" these games, then that's kinda silly (maybe they make a ton off of these downloadable games, but i doubt it), its weird to pay for these "exclusives", but if they didn't pay why are they not on PSN? sony has had a better relationship with them in the past, so this is so odd to me? Not to mention the RPGs they got before, but i know that was a pay thing....

Anyone else see a whole lot Steam's iconic machinery at the top of the main screen?

#21 Posted by blaakmawf (540 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

I hope a cube kills me... slowly.

His number 1 was in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. And that was because Ryan is an asshole. :D

Steam release confirmed?
#25 Posted by MarkWahlberg (3958 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

Judging by the title, this seems a game worthy of Brad.

@squidracerX:  
360 is a different market of Gamers than the PS3. They really want to tap that Market. They do fine on the PS3, but if they can reach that 260 crowd then this is more money they can make.
#27 Posted by Milkman (14004 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

I'm much more interested in "Death by Ice Cube".

#28 Posted by KME93 (206 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

nice this looks interesting
#29 Posted by Seedofpower (3744 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

I'll pass on it

Actaully on one of the Set Phasers To Fun videos he does in the first few seconds.

Pretty odd looking dual joystick shooter. While something like Super Stardust HD or Geometry Wars is more my style, I can see the crazy abilities and combos being appealing to people.

#32 Posted by Vager (1645 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

The shield ability reminds me of a scene in District 9.
#33 Posted by IzzyGraze (818 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

I think I might actually buy this.

#34 Posted by Blood_for_the_blood_God (300 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

for a second there i thought it was called Death cab for cutie...

#35 Posted by Alphonzo (756 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

Goddammit Brad...

#36 Posted by ApertureSilence (1151 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

Death by cube is still significantly more pleasant than death by HYPERCUBE!!! 
 

#37 Posted by Mechanized (264 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

I have to say, this is the worst game I've seen in a long time. WTF square.

#38 Posted by Detrian (1107 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

I don't know if it's Brad or this game that sucks balls. 
 
I think it's both

Not considered a quicklook though.

#41 Posted by Six (609 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

that is definitely a game built for "pulling brad's"

#42 Posted by Jensonb (1564 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

This game seems awesome, but absurd to the point of unplayable at times. It's like Brad was having to resort to just randomly doing stuff and hoping things died.

Still considered pulling a Brad.
#44 Posted by samcotts (2256 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

More like 'Pulling a Brad by Cube', amirite?!

#45 Posted by Shibbles (262 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

Death Cab by Cubey.

#46 Posted by Gdizzle (13 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

Makes me sad that I don't have an xbox...There's gotta be a PC equivalent to this somewhere!Hope they port it eventually =(

#47 Posted by scarace360 (4828 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

So robots run on blood now hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

#48 Posted by RobotHamster (3948 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

30, the number of times Brad died.

#49 Posted by MildMolasses (2040 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

This looks stupidly hard. 
 
And I've never gotten into watching someone else play a game as much as I did as Brad hit a million on that survival level
#50 Posted by CaptainApollo13 (70 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

Haha I love how many Brads were pulled...... Awesomeness
