For the week of October 11 – 17 -  Brutal Legend review, New Super Mario Brothers Wii and we get Brutal.

REVIEWS
 Just a short update this week to remind you that Brutal Legend has finally hit the shelves to some glowing and some mixed reviews. While no one is arguing the genius of the art work, characters and writing, the actual game play is getting people talking. Some calling it the jack of all trades and master of none.

At the games core, it’s an RTS with a short but super concentrated single player campaign. I was hoping for a longer single player experience since I think the Brutal Legend world and characters deserve it but if online multiplayer is your thing, then you’re in luck.

Also I really wanted to link the commercial that Film Riot has made for the game. So, so funny.

Also a reminder that the New Super Mario Bros. Wii looks like a great time. Just a few more weeks!

Until next week.

    Really? Nothing about Uncharted 2, probably the best game this year? :)

    Haha, you caught me! This release was a little weird. We were hearing about it weeks ago since the media had such an early look at it, but I wanted to wait to mention it when it was publicly available, but it totally slipped my mind. (even though it was all over the place, but let’s not bring that up…)

    The game looks amazing and I haven’t heard a bad word thrown its way. Even multiplayer looks really fresh. Thanks for bringing it up, because, for sure, it shouldn’t be forgotten.

    By the way, I heard you on the Tetris Effect podcast; Ryan got my turned on to it. Sounded surprisingly professional for coming out of Calgary. Throughly entertained!

    Professional for Calgary!? Haha, thanks man. I like to jump in with the boys at Tetris Effect whenever possible. Rocky, the guy who hosts the podcast, has a very professional setup. Great quality equipment, and everything sounds great.

    It’s always a lot of fun.

    Haha, I guess that didn’t come out the way I intended. Agreed, sounds great.
