We need to learn when to say "enough", rather than gluttonously devouring more and more of the same thing through sheer force of habit.

Yeah, it does look pretty, and there is always room for another action RPG title!

Played the demo earlier and I really liked it. I always want to play these type of games, but I find I get bored of em quite quickly. This seems to be unique and different enough from the norm to hold my interest. Graphically it is very good for an XBLA game, the environments are very pretty. The sound is also top, with the level thumping down around you and the score has nice epic feel about it. This should be a must for fans of action RPG's.

The constant narrator is cool. The game looks amazing, and it's your typical Action RPG. What's not to like?

I can see the narrator getting on some peoples nerves, but yeah Ginge I think he is cool too.
This has been added to my 'need to download list', along with BGAE HD and Outland.

I see it's coming to PC so I'll be waiting. Looks great though.

It just seems a bit pricey for 1200points, but I 'spose that is becoming the entry mark.
You lot reckon that they will soon start releasing 1500points+ XBLA games?

Beautiful game, doing new game plus mode now, really creates a world for you to lose yourself in. And the narrator is awesome.

And yet if Duke narrated it saying "Yummy down on this freak!" and "Mmm i've just shot my load" you'd love it wouldnt you
