Minter's next XBLA project: Gridrunner++

i'm not gunna lie , i never enjoyed reading a thread as much as the one on yakyak where minter completely ripped on OXM DAN who gave SG a 2.0)

Schweet! Minter rules! I love Space Giraffe. Bulling enemies of the rim has to be Best New Video Game Sensation of the Year for me. And Feedback Monsters should come in a close second place to Big Daddies for Most Creative Enemy of the Year. And yo, I was playing Halo 2 last night and there's a bit where I'm the Arbiter flying around in a Banshee and there's a big swirling sand hurricane thingy going on in the background. It looked exactly like an SG level but was less fun. And when I'm in the thick of it with the Flood, I get killed by things I didn't see way more than I ever did in SG.

off topic - not to be a dick or antyhing but does anyone else listen to the OXM Podcast? Ryan McCaffreys(sp) voice, enthusiasm just seems so fake. i cant put my finger on it but his voice bugs me. i cant take that guy seriously.

Fantastic. If GR+++ is half as entertaining as Space Giraffe was then it will be an instant purchase for me.

No thanks, I thought space giraffe could have been good but the whole psycho theme just turned me off and got on my nerves after a while.

Space Giraffe is the worst game ever.

I played the demo for Space Giraffe and it was horrible. The "wacky" graphics/music/presentation gives me the sense that I would not like anything else Jeff Minter has to offer. Even his visualizations were a turn-off in my eyes.

yea well he can keep it space giraffe sucks. horrible gameplay and its painful to look at.

Space Giraffe is awesome and I'm glad I purchased it. Getting high scores in it is more skill based than a lot of people seem to understand. I've enjoyed it more than a lot of the titles I've picked up on there that are supposedly better... but each person expects different things.

Gridrunner is a very different game. Don't expect to hate it just because you don't care for Spare Giraffe. I'm personally looking forward to it.
