So my review of Double Fine's latest, Brutal Legend, is up on PinoyPS; unfortunately things didn't quite turn out the way I had hoped, and it sucks EVEN MORE now that I've played through most of it. Click on the link to read the rest of the article.
What's so frustrating about Brutal Legend is that there are so many great ideas in the game that are wasted due to poor execution, and for every cool new feature that you wish was in other games comes three horrible oversights that look like they wouldn't be committed by an average game designer, let alone an accomplished one like Tim Schafer.
A final analogy: for those of you who watch wrestling, Brutal Legend is a lot like Tommy Dreamer: a lovable lunk, with charm and good-heartedness to spare, but in the end not somebody/something you can really get behind and cheer because you know he/it will eventually just screw up and become really embarassing.
