Just picked it up with some leftover MSP, this game rules, it's got such a great sense of fun, it's mischevious, it's quite difficult on some levels, and the sound effect for picking up cake it awesome.
Not quite as awesome as brads "OMNOMNOMMM" though :D
I'm gonna have fun with this one. Didnt realise it was out today until half hour ago either :D
Edit: Is anyone else reminded of Gir from Invader Zim? Splosion man sure speaks high pitched and squeaky, is super hyper active, possibly not all that intelligent, and references 'sammich'es a whole lot :D
'Splosion Man
Game » consists of 2 releases. Released Jul 22, 2009
A 2.5D side-scrolling action-platformer from Twisted Pixel featuring a military experiment gone wrong, resulting in a molten man who can ’splode at will!

I really want to try this but I also want Turtles, Shadow Complex and Mvs.C2. Last year there were only 2 games I wanted to try but this year I want to try them all.
Yeah I would have wanted turtles, but I dont like the graphics, I am ready to literally flip a coin between MvC 2 and Shadow Complex though, I have 1200 points and that's all the gaming money I have in the world until october lol.
" Holding out for Shadow Complex. "I'm getting both. Splosion Man/Shadow Complex are my tag team duo this year, just like Braid/Bionic Commando Rearmed last year.
" I really want to try this but I also want Turtles, Shadow Complex and Mvs.C2. Last year there were only 2 games I wanted to try but this year I want to try them all. "I don't own a 360, but you're going to spend $15 on Tutles? It doesn't look like its worth that amount at all...
I'm leaning towards Shadow Complex because i've got MvC2 on PS2, and I will probably not play it all that much online tbh, even if I think I will. Also, the achieves are insane if I remember rightly, no way, Shadow Complex's sound doable.

Me and Cliff have this weird relationship going on. Much like myself, the man says a lot of things, and says them very loudly. Oddly, I find myself completely split, almost exactly half the things he says I will agree with completely, and the other half, oppose vehemently. So i'm still not sure what I think of him. I do want another Super Metroid/Castlevania though tbh. But I also want to kick ass with my favorite marvel and capcom characters.... hmmm decisions *strokes beard*
Dang, I spent my money on Worms 2: Armagedon... I do love myself some worm action though,and it had been years since I owned a 2D worms, i'll probably go and buy some more points to get 'splosion man though that game looks awesome :) been waiting for a good platformer. :D
Just finished world 1, and yeah it's really good, much more than I expected. It's definately a platformer lol, I can feel myself getting frustrated with all the moving platforms, spikes etc already :P
Yea I was sold after watching the QL, but I could still tell that there would be some frusturating and challenging bits. However, it wouldn't be a platformer without that bit of frusturation lol :D
I will get it soon :D
ENJOY YOUR GAME!

I just downloaded the trial. I have enough points for this, Marvel vs Capcom 2, and Shadow Complex. I can't wait. This Summer of Arcade is shaping up to be just as good as last years.
i love the trial and really feel like getting it, but im getting MvC2 and Shadow Complex for sure, I still want to get monkey island and KOG98, and im holding out to actually try the turtles trial and check reviews to see how it ends up... but i loved the splosion trial like i said...argh, what to do what to do...
Also, the ending...INCREDIBLE!!

Funny thing is, every game (except for KOF98) that you listed is one that I either just bought (Monkey Island) or plan to buy.
" Great, thanks to your heads up over the games release today I've spent money. My bank account would like to have a word with you. "Yeah, seriously, about to download it now and I'll have like a dollar left in my account.

I'm looking forward to next Friday. It will be finally be payday for my job. I plan on giving my dad one of my guitar payments, then going and buying 80-120 bucks in points cards and buying MvC2, 'Splosion Man, Worms 2 (I have the original PC one but this one seems more relevant to play), Sam and Max, The Monkey Island stuff, Rocket Riot (Rocket Riot!), KOF98, Big Surf Island for Burnout and a whole ton of Rock Band songs (That Iron Maiden stuff, solely so I can sing along to Can I Play with Madness?). I also plan on buying SF4 and SMT:DS. Yeah, I'm kinda behind on game buying. I was gonna buy a video card but then I thought, who am I kidding, what am I gonna play on PC? All I play is Company of Heroes and TF2, which my X1950 Pro handles just fine. When I get my larger next pay check (2 full weeks as opposed to one) after I'm buying an LCD television so playing Persona can look even worse with the addition of bars along the sides. This promise of 'Splosion Man gamer-picture-thingies has my interest piqued. Klungo may finally be replaced (Even though I should have the 131 jiggie gamer-picture that I unlocked after getting all the Jiggies in BK:N&B).
Edit: PURPLE TENTACLE... YEAH!

Wow you have no idea do you?
Could at least take a look on the wiki before saying something like this dude. He's a game designer, he's been making games since the 90's and has his name to things like Dare to Dream and Jazz Jackrabbit. He's also played a large part in the evolution of the Unreal franchise he was there from the beginning if I remember correctly, helping push Unreal to be the success that it was.
He was also the lead designer on Gears of War. So he's not just some marketing nobody who talks a lot of smack, he's a very well respected and succesful designer. As for what he has specifically to do with Shadow Complex I don't know, I doubt very much at all as he's busy with Gears 3 and being executive producer on the gears movie. His was just the first name that came to mind when Epic was mentioned and I just pointed out that I tend to get on with everything he says pretty much 50/50 split so if he's had anything at all to do with Shadow Complex there is a good chance I will like it, even if he hasn't the people working on it are bound to have picked up some good stuff from him along the years. I was just pointing out it could either be a tremendous hit with me, or miss the mark completely I tend to either totally love, or outright hate everything Epic puts out.
I know who is is and was by no means denying his credentials as a games designer; I merely meant that I don't believe he had anything to do with the development of Shadow Complex in particular, as that was done by Chair Entertainment.
I could be wrong about his involvement there, but that was all I was stating. Sorry about that.
Ahh my mistake, I thought you just had no idea who he was lol. Also I thought it was Epic Games in conjunction with Chair? I could be wrong I guess.
