This is a 360 game? This sad bastard child of Gauntlet and Zombies ate my Neighbors looks like it should be barely passable on the PSP, much less a next gen system! Color me unimpressed.

Looks like they shrunk the player UI in the corners. Good stuff.

I loves me some coop smash-em ups.

This looks like a good fun game. I think the graphics are very nice indeed too. Just because it's not a FPS doesn't mean automatically it has crap graphics. It has funky art direction which is nice and refreshing.

Another one to add to the list.

I think it looks like a blast. Sleeper hit, hopefully.

Drat.. not until end of March though :(

I'm wondering how well the multiplayer will work locally. I'm looking for a good group sitdown game to play, not online though.

What other games has this physics system been used in? This looks promising if they make everything interactive and blow-up/crush as purdy-like.

I for one am really tired of the lame-ass Havok physics. It got lame a quarter of the way through Max Payne 2, and it's especially lame now, a few years down the line. But I guess it's too much to ask for a company to build it's own in-house physics engine. I don't think I've ever enjoyed playing around with a game's physics as much as I did Halo 1, and that was (IIRC) done in-house by Bungie.
