If you're having trouble placing Invincible Tiger, you might remember it's presented in stereoscopic 3D, if you've got a TV that works with that sort of thing ... which you probably don't. Trust us.

Actually, everyone is reading the title wrong. It says "Invicible Tiger coming in August to XBLA, PSN"
Note: Invicible does not equal Invisible, nor Invincible.

No, no, it's because of the fact that there's the word "Tiger" in the title that they were surprised. I don't get why though, considering that all those kung fu movies with "Dragon" in their names didn't have any dragons. (The ones I've seen haven't, anyway)

You're getting Valve (they made Left 4 Dead, Half Life, etc., and aren't fans of the PS3) confused with Media Molecule (the British guys who made LittleBigPlanet, love the PS3).
Unless Media Molecule didn't make the remake of Rag Doll Kung Fu. All I know is that they made the original before creating the company.

Yeah, I'm not liking the new trend for pricing. Now knowing that Shadow Complex will be $15, every other game going for that same price better be just as good or at least offer the same amount of polish and length to it.

Smaller games continue to be priced at $10, while these bigger ones are $15, I'm not sure why this is so hard to grasp. I can't say I have much of an interest in buying many of these more expensive games, but I simply don't buy them.
Can't wait for Splosion Man next week.

Which is normally an absolutely stupid pricing scheme. Normally, you'd see something like 20,000 copies sold at $15 ($300,000) and 35,000 sold at $10 ($350,000), so the lower price makes you more money. BUT, with unknown digital distribution games, I guess they figure that price won't make a big difference in getting their game recognized. If you can't attract more people, the higher price is smarter.

What kind of TV do you need to have to do stereoscopic 3D? Seems like a weird feature for a game of this, uh, caliber...

Stereoscopic 3D will work on any TV with a 120 mhz referesh rate, if I'm not mistaken. You also must be playing through an HDMI cable. Most HD TV's that have been manufactured in the last 10 months are starting to support 120, and all moving forward (except for off-brand Wal-Mart TV's) will be supporting the higher referesh rate. All HD TV's up to this point only support 60 mhz refresh. Just check the TV box or look up your TV's info on Best Buy's website or something like it.
It gets worse though... depending on what brand of TV you have, you'll need different kinds of 3D glasses. The current Samsung DLP's that support 3D require powered 3D glasses that cost around $100 each, while the new Sony LCD's will work with the same type of stereoscopic 3D glasses you get from the movie theater these days (or about $5 each). However, the entry level price for purchasing a Sony LCD TV is higher than a Samsung DLP of similiar screen size. I have the Samsung 60 inch DLP and I LOVE it, but I don't have the same problem of noticing the "rainbow effect" that some people have when they see a DLP image.
My advice would be to do some research at Best Buy or wherever and compare the overall costs to get yourself up and running with stereoscopic 3D, and which type of display you prefer (LCD/DLP). Plasma's probably work too, but I'm a plasma hater... overrated image quality IMOP.

Had a go at this a moth or so ago, you need the glasses as well as the tv. Not a great game though to be honest but a nice demonstartion of the tech.

I'd be all about some kung-fu fighting if not for the $15. Sheesh, especially for a platformer that by nature has limited replayability. Ten and under would be the sweet spot.

I love this screenshot, looks like three guys doing an intense dance together. Hopefully there's some Flashdance music in the background...

Do I get to spam uppercuts, shots, knees, genocides, and destruction in here? :P
*I dare anyone to miss the joke*
Also, Namco Bandai, just promote your "Big in Japan, niche... in America!" franchises like Gundam, Tales, Xenosaga, Super Robot Wars, Summon Night, Ar Tonelico, to name a few, instead of wasting what could have been PR money for any of these. Last I checked, the first three were flops, due to lack of PR, as the latter three mentioned are being promoted by niche localizers.

My Samsung DLP TV is 3D Ready. I just have to buy the glasses to go with it.

This game looks not very good. I'll try the demo though to give it a chance. But based on the screen shots it looks bad.

Yeah, this game doesn't looks great. Definitely does not look like its worth $15 and from the looks of it I'd rather play Ragdoll Kung Fu... which was $10.

I saw this game at GDC last year running in 3D. The game itself is no Tekken, but it is a fun and straight forward beat-em up that's good for wasting time with friends. the 3D effect, if you have the TV, is worth the price alone just to show off what your TV can do. It looks amazing in motion.
