I want this. Pigsy is a great character, emphasis on the word "character"

Yeah, I thought he was mildly amusing until the end when I realized how interesting it was that the entire game experience was an illusion in Pigsy's mind. I mean, with Monkey being a projection of his idealized male form and Trip representing the misplaced sexual frustrations of growing up without a mother... That's good stuff! And the emphasis on battling mechanical automatons is related to his juvenile sense of conflict resolution by assigning the obstacles in his life a cold, unfeeling, generic structure. Easier to destroy and forget about, without ever stopping to wonder why he is on this quest or who he is even fighting. Silly Pigsy, don't you see? You're just fighting yourself!

While this is extremely off topic, I'm hoping to bring this new Easter Egg to the attention of the Joystiq staff immediately.
Today, the Bungie Community found the easter egg Urk hinted at in his newest Friday Update:

You can ditch your old falcon, and fly a shiny new Pelican, or a Phantom on New Alexandria (without modding of course.)

You know, I actually thought the community would be interested in this one. So far, this is my favorite Halo Reach easter egg found, so I'm surprised there isn't more of a response.
All well, in due time, you will see...

I was underwhelmed by Enslaved, I don't know if I'll get this DLC. I probably will. The voices were pretty good, though.

anyone from the UK think that this game reminds them of Monkey (magic) ?
I played the demo and it totally reminded me of it, then today I found out that one of the characters is named Pigsy? ugh.

Same.
Having Platinum'd UC2 and close to getting a Platinum on AC2, I was highly underwhelmed by the demo. I'm sure the game itself is a solid title, but I guess by the time I played it, I was just sick of climbing crap, to say the least.

great games. i remember the trophies being kind of easy, if not a little tedious at times.

@TheMCFacemanBandcampcom I love Uncharted but this is different. Where as Uncharted is more about action, this is more adventure. The cinematics, voice acting and facial expressions are unparalleled. I love them both.

Enslaved was pretty good and Pigsy is by far the best character in that game. Sounds like a great concept for DLC to me.

I've never done this before, so please know I'm not just saying this lightly:
People need to buy/rent this game. Truly a fun game all the way through, and the story/characters/facial expressions are some of the best I've seen in a while. It had really weak sales - which is extremely disappointing. I love sequels (Fallout, CoD, Halo, etc.) just as much as the next guy, but when very good new IPs come out with horrible sales, it discourages game studios from coming out with new IPs in the future.

Anyone else is getting a Cowboy Beebop vibe from this?

Enslaved was a solid game. Pigsy was...well a fat slob. at any rate, this will be a sure buy for me.
