The first time the dancing silhouettes  appear and Vinny says "ooh-la-la" i laughed so hard..mostly because of the (possibly subconscious) reference to Space Channel 5's Ulala.

I wonder how many sales of Ms. Splosionman will be lost to people who decide to finally finish Splosionman instead of buying Ms. Splosionman?

I was previously lukewarm on all aspects on this franchise. After this - gameplay, style, music, everything is freakin' fantastic! Microsoft, please bring your great downloadables to Windows! They'd be such a perfect fit!

Brad is soooooooooooooo fucking terrible at games. He makes barriers that aren't there. He always finds problems based soley on him being confused by the simpliest of game mechanics.

I shy completely away from Brad (at the controls) quick looks. He's the one person who can't give a realistic view of the game because he is so bad. I get more infuriated watching Brad play games than I do watching my dog crap on my carpet.

Yet you keep watching, so thanks for your support!

lol who cares? video games are meant to be fun and it's entertaining when Brad plays. I'd rather have this Brad who dies a lot than some humorless ultimate video game player.

Video games ARE meant to be fun, but Brad makes them seem tedious and unnecessarily challenging. He also whines way too much during his quick looks that it makes it seem he hates what he's doing. Here's hoping Patrick takes Brad place in the U.S.S. Duder, then we'll get a person who actually seems to enjoy his job. And just for the record, I dig Brad, he seems to be a cool and knowledgeable dude, he just shouldn't be forced to play games.

I really don't know how to feel about this game. It looks like a lot of fun but it just seems...weird? I don't know, that whole arcade thing was pretty crazy.

Retro City Rampage was announced over a year ago, yet somehow Brad (who works for a video game news site!) thinks that they just announced it here... I'm very disappointed.

I really love all the crazy stuff Twisted Pixel does as a developer, I just don't particularly enjoy their games.

What´s this? This is a game when you are expected to die over and over again, new age platformer so whats up with people being so upthight about how Brad is playing? this is some crap you see on youtube a bunch of kids criticizing about how you play when they will fail the same way.

Does anybody else really, REALLY hate the character design for the Splosion games? Ugh. It's a shame because the presentation otherwise -- all the music, loading screens, voice samples, etc. -- are quite good. But jeezus sh*t christ Mr. and Mrs. Splosion Man are ugly, gangly, unlikeable character designs

Hey Brad, don't bother to finish a level, or a boss or anything. Just y'know, exit out after playing a minute. Also, the intro about Beard was fucking stupid, however, this game looks ultra cute and endearing in a way I can get behind.

I just played the demo and, seriously...I enjoyed the two levels in the demo more than the entire other game, which I hated. Brad, I think you're crazy. Also, you're terrible at this game. It's not THAT hard.

I'm a little late to this video, but it seems a platforming fan with an Xbox 360 would have a dynamo blast. The asking price of $10 rocks because of the 50 different levels and unlockables.
