Well, for those of you who do not know, Tim Schafer, is currently working on a new game called Brutal Legend. While this is not new information, I am extremely excited about it. The fact is, we as gamers don’t get to experience games that actually make us laugh on purpose that often. Or games that are even artistically innovative. Not that I am saying this game will blow every other game out of the water, but speculating from Tim Schafer’s other titles (including Grim Fandango and Psychonauts among others), this is sure to be an interesting title.

A little bit about the game (if you have read this far, I know reading’s no fun but stick with me). Well, the main character is a roadie known as Eddie Riggs, who will be voiced by none other than Jack Black (Master Exploder!). Eddie happens to be wearing a belt, which has a cursed buckle. Eddie is injured and some of his blood is caught in the mouth of the belt buckle. The buckle then comes alive and takes Eddie back in time to a world where demons rule. The things in the world that Eddie has been thrown into is nothing of the norm, it is the world of Rock and Roll legends. Great metal titans once ruled, however, they were so amazing that they ascended beyond Earth. So everything left behind is something related to Metal. Kinda confusing eh?

Well if you really want a better picture (and I mean 10 pages worth) please check out this months issue of Game Informer magazine.

Okay, so that wasn’t so bad was it? First blog post from me, and I think it turned out pretty awesome.

Keep up the Pwnage.
