For all you naysayers out there, here is an unbiased look at the incredible technology that went into this groundbreaking video game masterpiece. Keep in mind, this isn't marketing this is an exciting sneak peak brought to you by prime-time news, not some small-time-know-nothing-about-games like GB:

Best quotes:

"It goes way beyond the boundaries of an ordinary video game."

Phelps thinks..."it was kewl."

When Phelps played the developer, "it was very competive, but there was no doubt who was gonna win!"

"His videogame could earn him millions more!"

And the A#1 very best quote:

"They're already working on the next one!"

Are you kidding me, the best quote from this was obviously: "we should do a weather video game."

That's not the kind of "stroke" I have in mind when I switch on my Kinect.

Been looking forward to this ever since I heard about it on the Bombcast in 2008. 5:11 is where the phelps part starts.

Optimum Dive!

I'm glad to see that they're managing to put this game out while Michael Phelps is still relevant. The years of development time really seem to show in the gameplay too.

On a serious note, I can't believe that this game actually exists. I figured that they cancelled it way back when nothing else was ever heard of it. I'm listening through the Bombcast backlog again right now, so I'm excited to get back to hearing them talk about it years ago again.
