"The Lord commands you to save mankind."  is just not as catchy as "Duder, it's over"

There's a high chance that we might see the fabled "God vs Evil God" fight in this game!

Yeah, I want this. The main character is... eh, uh, yeah..., but other that that, this looks great. 
 
Lots of talent behind this one, too.

Looks pretty unique, at least as far as the art style is concerned.  That alone has me intrigued.

I love it when the Japanese do bible-related stories. They always make it absolutely crazy.

My taste for games that scream "Japanese" has really dulled in the past year or so.

El Shaddai is Hebrew for God Almighty and the title references Metatron, an angel appearing in medieval jewish texts; it looks like this one is based on Judaism. Sounds interesting in concept; not that many games based on that source material.

Hopefully, this game won't be a case of style over substance.  A little concerned here.

I guess it had to happen someday, when brainstorming on how to make their character more effete than the rest, they said to hell with it, throw some boobs on em.

Did anyone else expect the guy to say "...Mr. President" at the end?
 
So...seems like an odd game. I'll keep my eye on it, I might be interested.

Really don't understand why he upgraded the armor to restart that fight when he didn't get hit or need the extra armor.

So this plays like Bayonetta?  Seems like an odd game in a good way.  Graphics shoot from being really impressive to looking to like a PSP game though.

I'll start taking bets on how much sacrilege will be in this game. Still trying to think of a reasonable starting point for an over under, seems like there will be a lot of it.
