Quick Look: Michael Phelps: Push The Limit

Ryan and Vinny put the "p" in "pool." And "Phelps." And "push." Lots of "p," is what I'm saying.

Sit back and enjoy as the Giant Bomb team takes an unedited look at the latest video games.

The room in the tutorial with Phelps in it with the lightning going on in the background looks like something out of Deus Ex 1.

For as much as they rag on it, this actually looks like a pretty competent and enjoyable game.

How is Ryan expecting Kinect to read his gestures properly when he's swinging BOTH of his hands around when trying to control it?! ...

I would actually try to watch this, but everytime I look at the heading and see Ryan and Vinny 'putting the P in pool, I imagine a expanding yellow cloud slowly suffusing in the water as they make their kinnect motions. Thats enough for me.

I love that he was like the biggest thing in America and then a picture of him with a bong leaked to the public and the only thing he's done in the last years is endorse a swimming game for the Kinect.

Also, gross. I still maintain that he looks like a triangular Gorten's fish stick wedge thing from your frozen food aisle.

I think that has as much to do with him being a swimmer as being a pothead. I imagine we're going to hear a ton about him in London next year.

Bears are actually marsupials according to Ryan Davis, and Ryan Davis is a bear.

If A=B, and B=C, then A=C.

Ryan Davis is a marsupial, you heard it here first gentlemen!

I love Ryan having to morph Vinny into himself at the end. That was awesome.

These Kinect games are just... ugh, but the Quick Looks for them are pure gold.

The outline of Ryan swiming at the bottom of the screen looks like a bear trying to break through a screen door.
