As always a uninformed ignorant person spouting bullshit.

As for the game, the style looks great but like previous people said i don't know if it's actually going to be fun to play.

I'm gettin' sick and tired of people calling other people trolls, when most of the time the accused is just voicing their thoughts without the intention of sparking a fuse. I am subject to the term far too often when I'm really just saying what's actually on my mind to get my view across if no one else has yet. Stop bein' so darn quick to judge, damn it.

I have the same issue. It's annoying as hell. So many can't take an opinion different to their own.

Matt Rorie worked on Alpha Protocol:  3 Stars.
 
They seem to be on good terms with the Twisted Pixel guys, Ms 'Splosion Man: 3 Stars
 
Other than Rockband 3(which was 5 stars) and Trenched (The single game that fits your "rule"), those are the only games I can remember where they have had good relationships with the developer of a game they reviewed.
 
Also, as the other guy said:  They said they won't be reviewing this game.

big fan of Greg K. since 2001. Can't wait for this, and wish the dev team all the best.

Also, I'm really digging the music. Hope they release the soundtrack on iTunes

I hope whats around the gameplay lives up to my expectations, because the gameplay so far seems a bit bland for some reason. Maybe it plays better than it looks, I hope so.

I like the art, the narrator, the colors. I'm just not convinced that the game is fun to play. The gameplay looks rather uninspired.

Ethical for the way GB is handling their obvious support of this game, but not reviewing it. I still miss the Kasavin years at GS. Pc for me, a definete buy.

@LordCmdrStryker: Yall don't need to hate him for it but I sure do. That sound is god awful when someone else is doing it. It's like scratching a chalk board for some I suppose. I didn't like him for how annoying he was on top of that. Anyway, everyone can love him I don't care I was just stating I couldn't stand the guy. Unless you are him I'd probably calm down :) *edit* Wait! Unless you agree with me on that! we had this fat chick who would do it at work everyday ugh barf.

Congrats to SuperGiant :) This game looks amazing and it seems that the critics would agree with all of those Best of E3 awards shown at the end of the trailer. As someone who is in the beginning stages of forming his own indie games team, SuperGiant has been a huge inspiration. Can't wait to try the final product.

I'd be more excited for this if it were coming to PSN. Honestly, the 360 doesn't deserve a game this cool. It's amazing to me the disparity between endearing, creative, stylized and memorable games on the XBL Marketplace and the stupid, derivative, "gritty", "realistic", creatively-bankrupt military shooters that reign supreme in the physical, retail disc-based world on that console.

At least it's coming to PC later. And of course, I wish it the best regardless. Supergiant Games is literally working out of an apartment right now: ) I just hope the Xbox demographic responds to something this great. This belongs on the same console that supports titles like Flower, Echochrome, Fat Princess, Pixeljunk Shooter and Journey

You're obviously a troll, and not a very good one at that.

I don't quite understand what it is you're trying to say here. How can one console deserve a game more than another? What?

This reminds me of Magicka in a way. Both games feature an interesting gameplay mechanic, but neither really have much to back it up. Bastion really looks like any other dungeon crawler to me and they haven't been fun in a long time.

I'm torn between what I think looks like a pretty mediocre game and my long time respect for Kasavin and belief that he knows what would make for a fun game.

Will the bombcrew review the game? I guess everyone in the game industry kows everyone, but in this case the creators and critics are too closely intertwined with each other. Imo. Game looks great. Here's hoping that it comes to PSN or Steam.
