No, I have seen 0 $10 new IP big budget games released lately. This is how Ubisoft prices their games.

didn't they just release Dead Nation a little while ago? They're really on top of their game.

@kentuckyfried They were done with it about six months ago, which is plenty of time to finish up another game.

Looks pretty. The art style reminds me of Disney's Atlantis movie.
Tell me... Why, when I click the little X on the video ads, does it act like I clicked the ad and pop open a new tab?

@Tachyonic Cargo Figured.
But that creates BAD will, which is the opposite of what you want for an ad... Silly advertisers.

Sony updates around 7:00pm and Microsoft updates the next morning at 4:00am, so it's about a 9 hour exclusive. I hope there is a PSN demo, even though I'm buying XBLA.

I was totally expecting this to be $15. And to be honest, I would've been willing to pay a whole lot more than that.

Its mine, love these throwback type games. I always said my favorite games for both of the major consoles are the 2D/3D throwbacks.

A wise man once told me: " ...there will be only chaos". With that said, I feel confident that I just saved everyone $10.

Day one purchase. Been tracking since the initial announcement.

Perfectly priced..Day 1 buy for me..Dead Nation was awesome, this looks pretty solid too.

Just noticed it says that the two-player co-op stuff is online only. WHY? Why can't that be same-screen with a friend?

Amazing visuals. Definitely picking this up. Just not sure if it will be PSN or XBLA. Got more peeps to coop with on Live but if Plus members are getting a discounts it will be hard to pass up. Hell it looks so beautiful I just may buy the damn thing twice.

Looks like a iPhone/iPad game....to bad it aint. Would love to play it on my iPad.

@fohf I have a Pc,iPad2,Wii,X360 and a PS3...so no it's not becaus I only have a iPad.
I find simple games likes this more fun on a iPad then on a console, if you cant handle that without calling people stupid I recomend you either stop reading coments or get some help.

Looks so enticingly awesome, too bad the name is so basic

@MuneBeam
Yeah- basic like Shinobi, Fallout, Uncharted, Warcraft, Pitfall, Halo...
I totally skipped those for simple naming conventions... were they any good?
