I think it's great how the original negative reaction to Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts has mostly faded away, with gamers having taken the stick out of their spiceholes long enough to see that the game is looking quite good.

Speaking of "looking quite good," this new trailer for the BK's "Showdown Town" area is pretty visually gorgeous. What I like about Rare games is how they are able to produce some of the best graphics available on the 360 through use of actual artistry as opposed to "photorealism."

This game looks like a lot of comic fun to me. Definitely the kind of thing Microsoft could stand to be branching into more instead of focusing entirely on SingStar rip-offs and Eyetoy parodies.

This game is... So bloody beautiful.... Rare needs to send me a copy of this game so I can play it with my own two hands and see if it's really worthy of the Banjo-Kazooie name.

I expect it on Monday, Rare.

Definitely looks fun but I'm not sure if I'll be getting it.

Throwbacks to the first to games abound! Klungo and Mumbo Jumbo are still in the game, as is the Jinjo King. This game does look amazing.

I have to hope this game's bad--otherwise I'm down the two-hundred bucks for a 360.

It looks so pretty, I hope the vehicle mechanics don't ruin it. Platforming with vehicles = :-/

I love the look of this game. I'm not sure how fun it will be but I see nothing wrong with MOAR legos.
