I have a broken Xbox without JSRF. is that blasphemy? ;)

I don't think having one swear word would warrant a T-Rating.

The intro was pretty kick ass. D-K! Donkey Kong!

I watched a playthrough of that first stage. Can I just say, how the hell does he go through ALL that climbing and jumping about with all the blood he's lost? Feels like that stage is a bit too long. I expected him to collapse long before that stage was over. It's actually painful to watch. And how cliche is it that the train fall JUST as he gots to the top of the cliff

Seems like a cool game though, but I have to nitpick. I have a little bit of Yahtzee in me(though not nearly as clever)

I couldnt stop laughing durig the first level, he can climb up a train and jump 15 foot gaps, but he can barely walk. It is still an amazing game, and my choice for GOTY.

Adrenaline. It'll make you do crazy things, especially when your life depends on it.

Holycrap! This exists? There's a sequel to Jet Grind Radio?

Borrowing rights to my Xenochip emulator Xbox have been revoked! I will now buy the game and play it to death. Before I saw this there was no reason for an Xbox to lay around my house so I gave it to my friend who liked the NES and Atari emulators on it.
Thankyou Gamerforlife and Racketboy for showing me this.

I like the Left 4 Dead intro because not only is it cinematic, but it is almost a mini-tutorial as well. It teaches you what all of the special infected do and shows you how you might have to react to them.

Left 4 Dead 2 has a similary intro:

most memorable is parasite eve. the music and just the way the camera pans down on the statue of liberty with snow falling is grandiose. Out of all the titles i've played over the last 20 years, that is the only one that stands out.

Three Dirty Dwarves-Interesting setup for a story, some humor and a shout out to all the D&D fans out there. The interesting art style helps too
