    The Maw is coming to Steam on March 9. If you pre-order you can get 10% off. Here's the news page.
    I wasn't initially going to post this here, but then I saw this:

    So now I have to buy it because they quoted Vinny's review.

    My initial thought was that they just grabbed a few reviews from Metacritic and tossed them up without thinking about it. But I just went to The Maw's page on Metacritic and Giant Bomb's excerpt reads:
    Really, this game is all about its personality and your willingness to lose yourself to its charm. For an enjoyable little jaunt that has more “awww” than “raaawwwwr,” The Maw is well worth the price of admission.
    So they must have read the reviews, grabbed some quotes, and then decided to display all of the scores out of 100, even though one of them rates out of five and the other two rate out of 10.

    It gets even more ridiculous. That first review is attributed to Modern-Gamer.com. Although that text does indeed come from Modern-Gamer.com, the score is from Middle East Gamers, and the link points to that review.
    That Middle East Gamers review doesn't appear on Metacritic or Game Rankings, so I at least give them credit for finding that review, even though they got it all wrong...

    The Maw was a great game on XBLA albeit short but I felt it was worth the money.
