Not a lot on it, yet...I've read the article and this does look pretty freaking awesome, especially with my being a rabid Psychonauts fan and having been raised on heavy metal.

I am disappointed there's no word on a PC release. As much as I love Mr. Schafer's work I'm not about to buy a new console just to play one game.

Any thoughts?

Aw, come on, that's it? No one else is the least bit excited?

There's a trailer out on YouTube, now, but it's being taken down pretty quickly. But let me say, it's pretty great.

And look at this:
Wikipedia wrote:Schafer has pointed out that there are music term inspired attacks, such as a "Face-Melting" guitar solo, which literally will melt your foe's faces off.

Tell me that is not awesome!

Well, I suppose the world could always use some more rock and roll-inspired games.

I don't see 'rabid fan' and 'Psychonauts' in the same sentence very often. ;)

I don't get real excited over such early previews, but this could be so freaking awesome. I'm an old metalhead, so this fantasy world has a great deal of appeal. We will just have to wait and see.

I'm not a Metalhead, but Tim Schafer? The man behind Full Throttle and "The Most Excellent Game" PsychoNauts? Shoot, I'm looking in to this.

Official website's up.
(I guess I should put a warning for violence here, just in case. There's a verification thing at the beginning, but I'll take down the link if I have to.)
