Title: The Gunstringer - out now - free DLC (by Troma) is based on Mad Dog McRee
Post by: The Sceneman on August 31, 2011, 07:40:40 AM: just gave this a whirl, super cool game!

I love Twisted Pixel and it looks like they have another winner on their hands here. Pre order placed!

If you have Kinect, check this shit out

Post by: The Sceneman on August 31, 2011, 09:58:52 AM: no, I thought it was a good game.

I'll elaborate.

The controls are cool, left hand controls your dude, you can make him jump or run left and right to avoid shit. Right hand is your aiming reticule, it uses a lock-on/release system just like child of eden. The game was super responsive and smooth. There were also sections where you need duck in and out of cover to avoid attacks and reload, much like Time Crisis.

The presentation was probably the best part. It takes all sorts of western cliches and puts a strange narrative in top. The narrator is like the multiplayer guy in Red Dead, except he's taking the piss. VA is everywhere, so you get a joke every few seconds. Game is similar to Comic Jumper in that regard. Theres also weird live action shit sprinkled everywhere.

TBH Chronovore, the sense of humor in this is probably right up your alley if you like stuff like Deathspank. I'd try the demo at least.

Game is a budget title also, with Fruit Ninja for free. Free DLC with pre-orders too I think. Bought

FREE DLC at launch, and it looks better than the actual game:

Made by FUCKING TROMA, and its a Mad Dog McRee ripoff, and it's Kinect exclusive.

It's like they read my mind for my ideal game.

Post by: The Sceneman on September 17, 2011, 09:57:19 PM: played through a few levels of the main game. It's pretty fun, but I'm finding the controls to be pretty tiring. Holding up your right hand for longer than 30 minutes is cramping up my shoulder :( Hopefully with a bit more play I'll get more conditioned for the game.

Theres an achievement for beating the whole game on Hardcore in one sitting. Yeah, thats gonna be hard!
