It looks pretty cool but I doubt it's worth finishing. The ending is pointless since all the Showdown Relays end up exploding no matter what choice you make. They'll probably need to add DLC to make your ending seem more inevitable. I'm waiting for Showdown Effect 2 where you're putting this team of badasses together.

Magicka was brilliant. This looks amazing. It had better be voiced entirely in Swedish.

I thought this was some kind of exercise game based on the thumbnail and almost didn't even bother watching the video. Glad I did though, as the game looks pretty neat at first glance.

Nobel peace prize winning scientist father? What kind of science is that?

Norman Borlaug got a peace price for his contributions to securing the world food supply and he basically invented better wheat and did biology. Can't think of any others off the top of my head.

Well alright then, I guess it's possible for a scientist to get a peace prize. Come to think of it, they should get more peace prizes.

Edit: much better than the f-ing EU, am I right?

Don't care much about the game... but funny all the same. "fight to the death... or die trying." :)

was thinking the same thing. could it be that it was played backwards? like he did the normal grab, then just wiggled them around like crazy.

None makes trailers like the Magicka dudes.
