I'd completely forgotten about this. It's been in development for quite some time, it seems.

At least a year with 2K, yeah. Glad to see from this new trailer that things are moving along nicely.

Welp, first new game of 2010 I'll be buying's been sewn up pretty fast.

...a space marine? Really?

This game looks fantastic.

Looks great, the animation style is very cool.

Everything about that looks and sounds great. Isn't there another game coming out soon on the PS3 about playing with the concept of time and replaying against yourself?

This definitely looks interesting, and I love the goofy title.

I can't even figure out how space marines would figure into this. It would require a complete overhaul of the game. Looks pretty interesting. Puzzle/action is a nice combo.

Enjoying it. At 10 bucks, it's an easy decision.

Spent about 15-20 minutes trying to figure out "Citizen Clone" before finally figuring out. Really enjoying it so far.

It's subjective but $10 is the sweet spot for me for these kinds of games. It is probably way too much to hope for, but between this and PD XBLA maybe they're starting to lean in the direction of Steam's crazy-sales pricing experiment.

$5 is the sweet spot for me when it comes to these kinds of games. Tried out the demo and dug the visual style and the unique puzzle elements.

At $10, even if you only enjoy the game for 2 hours, you've gotten equal value to going to a movie. This game probably has 10-20 hours of Braid-esque fun/challenge. It's a total no-brainer.

"They should have sent a poet. Or a dollup of whipped cream."

How can you deny a game like that?

$10 is the sweet spot with me. Too many games lately have been $15, and $5 is long gone. Besides, wasn't BRAID $15-$20?

Yeah, that one stumped me for a while.

I'll be trying to work "Harding's Ghost!" into my exclamatory phrases for the next couple of days.

Damn it, the game requires such pin-point accuracy as far as timing goes. It's driving me up the wall. Stuck on "Flame On My Sweet Prince" at the moment. Not looking for help, just need to vent.

The main game didn't stump me too badly (although there were a few points where I had to just sit there for a moment and think) but man oh man am I going to go nuts getting those medals on the challenge levels.

Definitely worth the ten bucks, but I wish there was a little more to it.
