A five hour convention isn't worth it to take a trip there (unless there was something else going on in town that day). Oops, San Antonio.

Going to PAX 2. It is only a 5-hour event for $35 3. Only video games, no table top games 4. Austin, TX in the end of summer is going to be miserable 5. Put on by GS for rewards members only, so it doesn't have that sense of community. 6. $100 option is ridiculous Yeah, pretty much my feelings. Going to spend by time at PAX for three days that only cost me $65 and many more hours than five in one day. Gonna pass for many reasons.

The whole post reads as a fanboy's list of what he would like to see in the game. I won’t believe this until I see it with my own eyes.

If there's a demo of it I'll try it but if not I don't think it's for me just by looking at it, the only side scrolling game I really like and don't get bored of is Trine. And I think zkylon is right about th cheesy grin on the guy's face, even when he's hiding it just looks cheesy, would get old quite quick =P Good review.

I saw the title and was worried they made a video game based off the book "Lone Survivor" detailing the tragic events of Navy SEAL Operation Redwing in June 2005. http://www.amazon.com/Lone-Survivor-Eyewitness-Account-Operation/dp/0316067598 . <-- A very good book by the way with a movie set to release next year. Would have been horrible to make a game based on the events though. Anyways this looks very interesting. Would "Silent Hill in 2D" be anyway to describe this game? The environments and area map seemed to give off that vibe in a classic Team Silent sort of way. If so I may have to check it out. Yikes!

You hop on and are just glad to be gaming. I love that magical moment in which you see something completely unnecessary in a game, that for some unreal reason the devs decided to implement.

I never really grew out of WWII shooters, but I feel pretty tired of shooters in general, but then...then I saw the bicycle. I want this game in my veins now :D I came to watch that video uninterested. I never really grew out of WWII shooters, but I feel pretty tired of shooters in general, but then…then I saw the bicycle.
