cool got the quest. Outland does look really 'cool' though I just don't know. I feel kind of the same when I watch the El shaddai videos.

Looks good. Probably won't pick it up though unless it's on sale (400 MSP) or if they release it on Steam.

Cool Beans. That dude is tall.

Quick Look-time!
Been curious about this one...

It's Ikaruga, the platformer!
 
Which, to me, sounds DOPE.
bufton April 5, 2011 at 6:15 a.m.
never heard of this, should be interesting 
 
Edit: this looks great, i'll pick this up as long as the controls and price are right.

I want it bad. So bad. 
 
Edit- Podcast talk made me overhyped. I was told metroidvania with ikaruga. This looks very eh. Combat looks boring but of course it could just be they have no real powers. Also that boss had wayyyy too much life.

Gave the bad flash game a shot. Man that was bad.

I don't know if you're trying to be funny or you're just spamming.

The boss battle with the falling platforms reminded of an Adventure Island boss but it was on clouds and going up :)

Looks meh.

I really like the look of the game, but the gameplay seems sort of tedious.
ALavaPenguinon April 5, 2011 at 6:48 a.m.
This game actually looks pretty cool.  I am quite interested.  Hope this does well.

I'm not too wild about the game itself, but I'm loving the visuals. It's like Prince of Persia (2008) crossed with a little bit of Tron. The GUI  seems a bit out of place though...    
Zannyon April 5, 2011 at 7:02 a.m.
Cool. :) I was wondering what was up with this one.
Jeffk38ukon April 5, 2011 at 7:06 a.m.
So it is You-bisoft, not Oobi- soft. That will take a bit to change my perception of that name.
EnchantedEchoon April 5, 2011 at 7:13 a.m.
Wow really good first impression for me, I really like the artstyle and the red/blue switching mechanic looks cool, online co-op too! Probably will pick this up on release.
