Good review but the accent got annoying after a while.

Great review! There is the cake from portal somewhere in that game too if you want to find more easter eggs.
Don't talk about cake ever again.

I've got Portal but not played it yet. I probably should.

Not much I can do if someone doesn't like my voice. Or would do.

hey, don't worry. I wasn't dissing you or anything. Just saying it annoyed me personnally. I'm sure there are many people out there that find your voice so sexy. Like I said though, good review.

Oh I know and thanks. I actually know a Belgian guy who makes videos in a very convincing American accent because he thinks it'll be more appealing to YouTubers. He might be right but I couldn't bring myself to do that. Anyway surely if people won't watch your videos because you don't have an American accent, then the further away they are the better.

I'd kill to have your accent. Anyhow good review but the intro scene could have been cut much sooner (around the 30 second mark).

Good review. Really nails the reasons why this game is so fun. It is ridiculously brutal. Your accent makes me want to be a Highlander. :p Also, I remember seeing screenshots and some tidbits of info on the Highlander game and wish to god it had been made. It looked and sounded epic in the descriptions. I bet it would have been just as violent as Wolverine heh.
I actually think it would have been extremely similar. There was talk of "Quickening powers" which I believe would have amounted to things like "berserk" etc. Making a Highlander game faithful to the films would be an extremely difficult task mainly because your opponents (other Immortals) are rare. So your standard enemies would either have to know how to kill you (thus going against canon) or all be immortals (making it silly).

But I would love to have seen it. There may still be hope. It has been pushed back a year exactly which usually means they don't know if it will ever be released but I think that the game was all but finished so maybe they'll shove it on the shelves at some point.
There was another game called Seven Kingdoms: Conquest which was about five years overdue. Everyone thought it was dead. Then suddenly, one day, it was released.

It was awful but still...

Yeah that was rather stupid of me. My videos are usually just under the YouTube eleven minute limit but there isn't much to say about a game like this so I stuck the games opening in there just to fill up the time and show some nice footage.

Excellent review. You really hit the nail on the head about the Feral Senses. The same thing when through my head on my first playthrough.

Me and my mates have a theory that the uncaged version of the game is better than the X-Men Origins film. Probably is in my opinion.

Huh. This looks surprisingly fun and really gorgeous. I just watched the movie at the cinema today, and I loved it. That would compensate for my disliking of monotonous action games, but perhaps not enough for me to warrant a purchase. Especially not if I will finish it in aprox. 8 hours. A rental then, perhaps. Like your accent, by the way.

You know what I like about this forum? The way people tend to tolerate a difference of opinion. In this case me slagging off the film while you enjoyed it. I was half-joking, I mean I haven't seen it, I just don't want to. Sometimes I have to justify EVERY DAMN THING I say no matter how lightly I meant it.

Hehehe. Yeah, it is one of the things I like a lot about the people here. I come here mainly for them, after all. Now, about the movie... I am probably biased, because I identify myself with Wolvie. But I can not see how anyone can complain about a supposed lack of action, because there was oodles of it, and it was well done. A bit cliché at places, but I thought, "Why not?". Didn't do it any harm.

Best thing was that it was well integrated with the characterisation. I don't care much about the action, and sure, it could have more characterisation, but it had enough for me to be pleased. It was very predictable, which is probably the biggest flaw I can find. Now that's a good thing.

Yeah, Americans and their scarily annoying nasal voices hurt my ears.

Good work! I haven't played this game myself, but it looks and sounds quite fun.

Don't know why the some folks don't like your voice: you have a cool accent to be honest.

EDIT: Also, I liked seeing that intro bit with the slicing and all. A nice way to start off :D

Super work! This game's reception has been "mixed", but having played the demo it feels like a gloriously over-the-top brawler with a fair bit of love put into it. We don't get enough of those nowadays. The review itself was charming, and you worked around the obvious low budget by injecting your own clever ideas, and I liked your "chuckle reel" in particular. I'm off to watch more of your work!
