"For an extra $10 it comes with a bag of Salvia"

Nice.

"Buy It" says the man.

Well, I would if I hadn't already.

Still doing well on Metacritic, but needs more official reviews and user votes:

Nice video review there. Definitely see if we can get some more score on Metacritic. Nice that they already have a couple really good user reviews up.

I found another little mention on a Blog from today too.

Dunno what they were playing on but it looked like they were suffering a fuck load of slow down on some levels as it was really chugging in places during that vid.

The lag was likely due to capture rather than actual in-game slowdown.

Just checking in from hols to post another review link, this time a great one from 8bitrocket:

Ooh, neat. I submitted it to them Friday afternoon so either they're really keen and fast or they were already on it

Furry muff. Just though it was worth mentioning as I wouldn't want someone to get a wrong impression of the game based on the video.
