Up until recently, I was only casually interested in Army of Two: The 40th Day. It hovered on my radar, but it was far from top priority since there are a sea of other worthy games on the way at the end of this year and even early in the first part of 2010.
Under the best case scenario, I figured The 40th Day would just be one of many titles on my backlog when it got released in January. That was until I saw someone playing the game at PAX. "This looks pretty neat, I guess." But then, the guy playing used a dead hippo as cover from the onslaught of bullets being fired his way.
There isn't a real award for best cover in a videogame, but there totally should be, and it needs to go to Army of Two: The 40th Day. Oh, and the box art for the game has been revealed. Take a look at that and wish there was a dead hippo hidden somewhere on it.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

And it was a lot of fun at PAX.
Gears 2... Yep.
Zelda... Yep.
Rock Band... Yep.
Little Big Planet... Very yep.
Isn't that what Army of two is all about?
Women just don't appreciate the need for flames and skulls. Don't question it. It's science. :)
... you mean like farting contests or belching the alphabet? Nope, no appreciation... just uncultured we wenches are! :)
I can't wait for this. My cousin and I had so many goddamn laughs playing the first game.
Once you've won your first farting contest, you'll understand. ;)
