When Ryan said "Gary", was that an 
"The Incredibly Strange Creatures that Stopped Living and became Mixed up Zombies" reference?
 
Also Vinny, you can't use Kinect sitting down.

Brought this yesterday and have sunk about 8 hours into it and am still enjoying it. 
My only complaint is that it feels too easy, ive played and won 8 games and have gone nowhere near losing

Is this coming to PSN at all or is this exclusive? I'll definitely buy it on 360 if it won't come to PSN.

Will probably pick this up because I can never get anyone to actually commit to a full game of Risk.  The playstation version was ruthless, you just lost 75% of your troops to disease....

This was much more entertaining than I anticipated. Being at the mercy of the dice is still frustrating, but hey, that's Risk.

Oh man, now I'm so disappointed in myself for looking at this in the arcade the other day and saying, "So...it's Risk done by Hasbro. NEXT!"

Promises of pleasant surprises? Damn, I was curious but I didn't expect a Risk spin-off to be this fucking entertaining. I love the art style, especially on the guerilla cats :D
If it comes to PC at an affordable price (let's say similar to the comparable value of Defcon or something), I think I'll have to buy it.

My entire family (wife and 3 kids) sat and helped me complete the single player game this morning.  This game has no right to be this engrossing and entertaining but it totally is.  Best Arcade purchase in a while.

Risk is so boring. How come most of the Xbox Live Arcade games are so boring, and have no style what so ever.

Would much prefer something like Advance Wars on XBLA (however improbable) than Risk.
