God... another game where you fight Unicorns and drunk Leprachauns. Sigh. Original ideas are dead! Dead, I say!

Seems like Tim Schafer meets Torchlight...  Not necessarily a bad thing.

fake - not a QL.  (QL EX - is this the new distinction EX = as in ?) 

QL definition: one or more of the GB's are playing the final game or demo. This - again - is another dev/PR guy playing while yet another dev/PR guy is babbling.  
 
I hope GB's get some advertisement money from EA for this.  
 
Now, a QL with Ron Gilbert on the other hand... ;)

Oh, you're right. Glad they do make that distinction (and also say so in the footer).
 
As informative these QL EX can be, they can be as boring.

A new Ron Gilbert game - with his PC history - that is not running on a PC - that would be a first. Hope they steam up.

10-15 hours is long for a $10 or $15 downloadable game.

Looks nice - but i doubt it will be as addicting and deep as Diablo2 or as funny as monkey island - but on the other hand, then it would be the best game ever made - very unlikely

I don't really care for the game, but the guy from EA narrating is annoying. He keeps reiterating how  "whacky" and "silly" the various things are in the game.

I can't stand the creative camera angle that this game uses, I think that was a real mis-step.

This EA dude is killing the jokes and ruining this game off the bat. You have to get this artifact, which is just called the artifact, ISN'T THAT FUNNY?! LAUGH! Don't sell me on the humour sell me on the game's mechanics. Anyway, I'm hoping for a PC version as well.

Edit: Wow he just dropped a box descriptor. Take the funny dialogue and wackiness (wackiness? ugh) of monkey island and mix it with the gameplay of diablo! What a douche.

If that guy said the word "Wacky" one more time, I'd have had to jump a plane, find him, punch him in the face, apologize, give him a $10 gift card for Borders, then come home. 
 
...He said "wacky" too many times, is what I'm getting at.  Kind of annoying.  Game looks interesting, though.

Considering the style of this game, the Ron Gilbert name and the fact similar games like Torchlight have been tremendously successful on PC, it really is weird they are presently ignoring that platform.
 
If I were making this it would be right up there with XBLA as the top priority.

LOL Toilets!  Get it?!
 
How do you not put this out on Steam after a game like Torchlight sells 500k copies?  I would be extremely surprised if this gets anywhere near that on both consoles combined.
