After a long time in limbo, we learned last week that Electronic Arts had swept in to rescue Double Fine's Brutal Legend and will producing the latest twisted action game from Tim Schafer's pulsating brain.

This new trailer is titled "Kinda Sexy Though," and to be honest, it really is kinda sexy. This is the kind of crazy action game I love, and I really can't wait to get hold of it. Between this, MadWorld and Bayonetta, action fans have a lot of batsh*t insanity to look forward to in 2009. 

This game promises to be one of my favorites.

JB sells this either way... I always thought the main character looked a lot like him but had no idea he was actually the voice actor.

I wonder what the soundtrack will be like... :-D

JB can be hit or miss, but this game looks great! What was ActBlizzard thinking?

Jack Black is really hit or miss for the most part. I guess we will just have to wait to see how the game turns out and if he really works out. Still the game looks awesome, and I'm happy the studio making this gave Activision Blizzard the finger and left.

his voice acting is good in the trailer, and from what we've been shown, it looks like it's gonna work.

here's to hoping there's a KG cameo.

bottom line is that right now Jack Black is an A List celeb, and taking this seriously. future games will only benefit if this works out.

I will get this game just because of the Metal Soundtrack. I always wanted a game which incorporated Heavy Metal into it's design and now finally my wished become true.

Also nuns are sexy. ;)

more than anything, I want this simply because it is doublefine - I can't imagine them doing a bad game, maybe not to certain people's taste, but it is to mine

I love Tim Schafer. I would have his babies. Grim Fandango and Psychonauts are by far my 2 favorite games of all time. In fact I just found a brand new copy of psychonauts at big lots last week for $6. couldn't pass that up.

always pictured Jack Black doing the some sort of voice for this. As much as his persona is "Metal with Comedy", it just fits.

I hate action games, and I will buy this because of Schafer.

This game, as well as Champions online, have me drooling for 2009.

Oh wait, I drool normally, nevermind.

Seriously though... Electric Eye. Doesn't get cooler than that.

To all you people who hate Jack Black, see: The first Tenacious D album, School of Rock, Topic Thunder, etc.

He's a talented guy, he just needs to fire his agent.

Looks alright, but let's not all overhype this one too, shall we?

Jack Black as an acting talent: Sometimes good, mostly bad.

Jack Black as a musician: Has some chops, for sure.

Screw the haters. JB is perfect for this. Plus Psychonauts was really well written. This will be no different.

this game looks like all kinds of fun. it's multi-platform, right?

interesting that they put JB's name front and center, making it feel like a Dreamworks Animation movie. hopefully, this will get more people to check it out. i don't want this to be the last Double Fiiiiinnnne game. (they've done platformer and Brutal Legend looks more action-ey. let's see them tackle an RPG next. playing Persona 4 makes me wonder how Psychonauts with it's psychic powers would have worked as an JRPG)

Oh crap. I love Tim Schafer, and I love the idea for this game. Sadly my hatred for Jack Black is almost more consuming. I.... I... just.... confused, why oh why does he SUCK SO MUCH?? He's not funny, but just says everything like he's screaming so that makes it funny??

I'll await the reviews.
