I think 39 seconds is too long for these Live Show ads.

Looks like Pikmin but more cartoony and overall less entertaining. I dunno, it could be a good game.

The sound they make is like that of the aliens in Toy Story.

I can't help but read "Hothead's Swarm" as "Howard Stern". Odd.

@MrPiZzA: HotHead just put out the Penny Arcade game its not like Penny Arcade is deeply rooted in HotHead. 
 
Also I wish Giantbomb put out the actual demo for this. Shows it off much better.

I enjoy the actual games Hothead puts out, it's just that Deathspank was dragged down a bit by its...not so funny-ness. I look forward to seeing what they do with this type of genre. We don't have enough Pikmin/Lemmings type games out there, and XBL/PSN are great places for them.

This actually looks really cool, how about they just forget about releasing the next Deathspank game and concentrate on this one.

I thought this was just going to be a Lemmings clone. I'm glad I'm wrong, this looks pretty cool. 
 
I love the cinematics, reminds me of the old Worms 2 videos.

Ooh, Swarm rears its head again finally.  The last gameplay video was a while ago now.
 
Looks interesting.  Keeping my eye on this.

Looks kinda fun.  Like a decent Arcade download.  Wouldn't pay for it.  But should make for a good QL.

Maybe they're trying to convince people of the value of a "no ads" feature on the paid site...

Looks like a funnier version of Pikmin and Overlord, minus the leader controlling them. I like Deathspank (despite its hit or miss humor), looks interesting.

Huh, I think it looks like fun :). I dunno why. I guess cause I kinda like Lemmings like games, and the aliens from Toy Story are my favourite characters.  
 
I really love those guys... especially the sounds they make... :3
