Seriously, I'd like to know what that's all about too.

This game plays NOTHING like Assassin's Creed, besides the fact that you climb on shit.

Yeah I see what you mean. But for me, the girl singing it and her lyrics aren't a deal breaker for me. Although, it's the instrumentals in the track I like the most. I think it's a cool sounding tune, with catchy synths and all that. I dig.

Actually, the original version of the song was instrumental. It's called Shine, by Alcorus.

Thank you bVork!!

Played the demo. My god how awesome. My mom even liked the game. She was ducking when I would slide under stuff.

Haha. That's awesome. I love playing games around older people who don't play games. They usually have great reactions, and I get a kick out of it.

Side note, I really REALLY hope this game is available for purchase on Tuesday. I don't think it will be, but does anyone know for sure? I ain't got shit to do on Tuesday, and it's supposed to be a cold, rainy Fall day in Chicago - which means it's a perfect day to sit inside and play games.

Crap so soon?

Damn it! I have this on pre-order.

Bad news, the release date is the 13th (thursday). The good news, it is shipping to stores (and to people from stores) on the 11th, so if you have overnight delivery you can get it by Wednesday.

The demo is pretty sweet. I remember being worried that initial screens shown for this game were touched up or even concept art but it actually does look that way. The combo of unique movement and surreal art direction make this on my must-buy list.
