poor brad, maybe he just gets nervous while recording.

When it was announced at E3 I wasn't all that interested in Shadow Complex - until now! Watching more of what the game is about in action has really got my attention. Thanks Giantbomb for Quick Looks!

Looks fucking awesome
 
I don't normally want games to have sequels in the works before they're even out (which many companies do seem to do) but this is one game I hope has a sequel in mind.  It looks so fucking bad ass and I love the metroid-castlevania style games.  The way they use the depth of 3D is awesome as well.  Looks like a can't-miss game for anyone who finds video games entertaining.

I'm really liking the melee stuff and the shooting. All the tactics and environmental interactions you can take advantage of seem cool. It looks like a pretty great update to this style of game. Shame I can't play it.

Looks sweet and hopefully makes some XBLA developers pull their finger out and heighten the quality of their games if they're charging $15.

Empire was a TERRIBLE novel, making a game based on that fiction probably wasn't the best idea.
