It comes out on my birthday!
I'm glad to see as much publicity for NMH as possible: good work Holmes!

I've been on media lockdown for Deseperate Struggle for a while. Well, as much as I can be without blog posts announcing *spoiler* playable characters */spoiler* in the titles or other such things.
I'm sorry to say that despite your best efforts you've given away what you were trying so hard to hide, that which worries you about NMH2. And now it worries me as well. Yes, I, too, don't know how the game will hold up without all the Moai heads everywhere.

I know a few things about a few games I cannot mention too.
To the point where I can't even mention their names. :)

It's kinda fun being in that position if you aren't normally in a position to be in that, er, position. The first time I heard about the Bourne Conspiracy game was when I was part of a focus group for it. I got a heavy Darkwatch sheriff's badge pin and a T-shirt along with a little money for my time.
I keep forgetting to pick up NMH and download the Bit.Trip games. This will change and I will be looking forward to the games that you are looking forward to soon enough.
Bourne Conspiracy game? What mixed feelings I would have had being a part of that focus group. Part of me would feel flattered and pleased to be a part of a group of insiders, the other part of me would feel sad that I would have to play the Bourne Conspiracy game.
These things make me sad, these "Bourne Conspiracies".

It was actually still called The Bourne Identity at that point. Vivendi had just bought High Moon earlier that year.
I'd never played a stealth game before aside from Wind Waker, so it was hard for me to assess how much of the game was total suck and how much of it was suck due to still being in basically an alpha state. But my impressions where that the gunplay sucked but the first level was pretty cool at that point. That's about all I ever got to see, the first level and a shootout level in a church. That one was real rough the one time I saw it.
I did two sessions, one early one and one a bit later when they'd tightened up the game a bit. I think there was a third and maybe a fourth, but due to only having a Wii they probably didn't see fit to call me back. Or maybe they just wanted new blood for the other ones. It was a cool experience though.

Say it ain't so! I probably am setting myself up for a letdown for NMH2. I love the first one so much and am wanting more greatness! Maybe I should tone my expectations down just a little... at least after reading this.
Are these games punk rock? They're on the Wii, they must be punk rock. Good thing too, I can't stand games that aren't punk rock. I mean, if it doesn't have a shirt for it in Hot Topic or Jinx, can it really be called a game?
@ sheppy- You're creepy.
@ callmeAlex- The embargo on the info is up the 16th, so we'll see what you think then. Don't get me wrong, I'm not sure that the game is going to be worse than the first. It's just going to be different, more different than I figured.
Different could mean better though.
@ A New Challanger- That actually does sound like it was a lot of fun, like getting to be on the game's development team, but not having to worry about if the finished product turns out any good; all power, no responsibility.
Like giving Uncle Ben the middle finger!

I hope it's the overworld that's missing. Or the random missions (that usually involve never getting hit, or just replaying an area).
So, what? Does Travis pick Vegitables out of the ground to kill enemies instead of using a laser sword. Does he fight King Wart instead of Assassins? Does it take place in Subcon, the land of dreams instead of Santa Destroy? But enough of this referencing. You've peaked my interests, although I am not a fan of Bit.Trip Beat.
@ manasteel88- You're welcome?
@GENPadre036- The changes between NMH 1 and NMH 2 aren't as plentiful as the differences between SMB 1 and SMB 2 (at least, that I know of), but in a way, the change that I do know about is more severe.
Keep in mind though that the info I have is mostly incomplete. Still digging around for more.
@ Phoenix- You know, I actually thought of you when I heard about the changes. I'm 99% sure that you will like NMH 2 more than NMH 1 (not like that's going to be hard).
@ Garison- You'll thank me later.
@ GohanGVO- Where ya' been?

I decided to play video games for once.
NPC! Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat is soooo good. What an inventive, unique platformer that desperately needs online leaderboards and video capturing/sharing. It is still worth $30, though.

Different could indeed mean better. I went back and re-watched the trailer and remembered why I'm excited for this game. I shall remain hopeful, and look forward to the 16th.
