Why is he shooting away from the baddies?

Mr.ESC: Jul 24th 2008; 12:33AM

Why does he have a gun?

Is he aware of the Killer fruit fucker trying to kill him in the background?

Is he trying to shoot the artist who thought it was a good idea to draw him that way?

So many questions and so few answers.

(Unrelated note: Freedom Force was a really badass game)

invaderalex: Jul 24th 2008; 12:35AM

because he's awsome

theWallychamp: Jul 24th 2008; 12:38AM

I like how he has a HUGE cannon for one arm and a little gun in his other hand. You would think the huge cannon would be enough. Awesome.

Ninjakamster (PS360 FTW!): Jul 24th 2008; 1:13AM

I don't care about the coverart, but don't advertise him carrying a gun if he can't do that in the game. It gives me false hope! :(

chrisjlangston: Jul 24th 2008; 1:54AM

don't advertise the fruit fucker in the background if he's not in the game either. *THAT* gives me false hope...

Hammer: Jul 24th 2008; 2:09AM

False hope, another benchmark of the 8-bit era!

AwesomeTown: Jul 24th 2008; 7:27AM

Can I get a T-shirt with just that robot on it? "Hey Mega Man, look at these cool buzz blades Dr. Wily made me!"

theWallychamp: Jul 24th 2008; 9:14AM

UltraSound Graphics Synthesis? 8 Bit Fidelity Engine? I HAVE to get me this game!
