Looks great.. the 360 needs a good ultra-violent slasher.

I'm sold.
1st things 1st..

that very first TMNT game published by ULTRA for the NES was god-damned fantastic. Don't let anybody fool you. It was hard-as-hell, had pretty decent graphics for the time and a huge variety of gameplay. It also allowed you to switch between the 4 turtles anytime you wanted to achieve various objectives.

I STILL play that game.

though, the various translations done after that came out, the ones that were rip-offs of the arcade games were also great. These games were made specifically for Co-OP gameplay.

TURTLES IN TIME for the SNES was probably the best one of them all, with the COOP being the best out of any of them.

I did play through the last few that came out for the PS2, but wasn't impressed. It followed the, pick one turtle and switch between the 4 at-will formula.

This one looks like fun. If it is a throwback to the arcade style games, it needs co-op. If its not, and ment to be more of an "adventure" game, then its fine if its just single player, ala the original TMNT NES title referenced above.

I would be interested in playing the new title.
Man, I hope they continue Surface this year. That was a great show. Its not as good as some of the stuff that was on, or is on now (like Heroes or Invasion) but it was very entertaining. It was very speilberg.
you know, I've played the demo through several times and I was pleasantly surprised by this game.

Yeah, its a GTA/Saints Row clone, but it adds enough new content to be fun.

No its not a groundbreaking title, no it doesn't look as good as other current gen games do, but you know what? its fun. and thats what its all about right?

I am going to try to pick up a copy of it tonight after work.

and the halo3 thing is a nice incentive, but I probably would've bought this game w/o it.
plz to be making starwars RPG for 360. KThnx

I will probably get this. I think its probably going to be similar to Jedi Knight, not starring Kyle Katarn, and with combo moves.

jedi knight + tony hawk + nba street + star wars = this
I love drifting. If I didn't have to catch up on Rome and 24, I would've totally watched that. I would've recorded it, but my HDDVR is 90% full..

Like I said, I need to catch up.

Hopefully DiscoveryHD will replay it this weekend.
this was aweful. And i am a fan of viral videos. its not funny. its not creative. it is produced with some skill but thats about it.

maybe i just woke up grumpy this morning.
this was a good game. certainly not a great game, or a fantastic game.

it wasn't nearly as deep as KOTOR or KOTOR II, and I think that the game suffered for it. You couldn't upgrade your character much, each type of character you choose really didn't seem very different from one choice to the next, and although it looked sharp, it really wasn't different then anything else we've seen before.

I enjoyed it (somewhat), but sold it back to my local game store as soon as I had finished it.

If the RPG elements were a little deeper, and you had a ton more control over how your character progressed (IE more customization) I think this would've been much better.

but yeah, its all magic effect-punch-punch-kick, then you win. nothing to it.
to add, I did see this being played on the 1up-show the other day, it did look like a lot of fun. This game would be a good candidate for that weird on/offline hybrid type of game. Imagine a massive persistant world where there are hundreds of different crackdown cops roaming the streets fighting eachother for each objective.. I would buy that..
ohh.. I finally plopped down some scratch for a 360 yesterday. I didn't see that on the demos. hmmm will have to download that tonight.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
