"30 minutes into Episode 320 of Dead Pixel Live ( http://radio.allgames.com/radio/deadpixel/episode/320/ ), a discussion about GRR starts up that lasts around 15 minutes. The hosts go back and forth on the merits of the game, which leads to the game getting played live while they argue about it.

The segment builds to one of the hosts(me) singing a song about the game." - from Dead Pixel Live

Brandon from BoingBoing write a bit about the game here: http://www.offworld.com/2009/09/retro-r ... s-gri.html

[Henrik]

Great ! Can't wait !

[Sir_LANs-a-lot]

But is it Tempest?

[Yak]

no, it's Centipede, silly .

[VNVObit]

And there was me thinking it was Centemptron
Good to see praise for it looking forward to playing it

[PVB]

Jeff Minter had to wait for Dan Amrich to leave OXM for him to release his new game

[Harlequin]

I am wondering why this is a 'preview' and not a review.

[bcass]

Isn't the release date meant to be announced today?

[Yak]

Yes. We have a bunch of new content ready for the website including that but we are having some problems getting it deployed.

[Lester M Fong]

Well I'm choosing to parse the latest blog post as a date, whether it is one or not

[Fuseball]

no, it's Centipede, silly .

With a generous dash of Mad Planets by the looks of it.

[Game Rogue]

Nice reviews – getting really 'gameplay' anxious for it now... 10 days and counting!

@Yak:

A better(more direct) link to the RPS preview: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/09 ... -imminent/

Apart from the "usual crap" from some people that will never like anything no matter what you do I find funny that
some posted "where is the grid ?".

If you just look a little bit more carefully you CAN actually see there's a grid as well in the same screenshot they put up
