Game Preview-Brutal Legend
My favorte video game designer is the legendary Tim Schafer, whose ingenious works like Psychonauts, Grim Fandango, and Day of the Tentacle have brought brand new meaning to video games. His newest project is called Brutal Legend, it follows a roadie named Eddie Riggs, who is voiced by the crazy Jack Black. Anyway, Eddie is a roadie who on a tour one day when he accidentally cuts himself and he gets blood on his ancient belt, which transports him hundreds of years into the past. The game’s art design distinctively reminds me of Psychonauts, which is a great thing. The combat looks to be a big part, with Eddie’s main weapon being a guitar, his “axe”. The game will have a load of references to rock and its legends, and it looks to be the unsung greatness of 2008. You can be sure this is going to be great with a genius like Tim Schafer at the helm. ALl 360 and PS3 owners need to do themselves a favor and pick up this game when it rocks on uniquely sometime in 2008.
