Electronic Arts has very kindly released a brand new trailer for the highly anticipated Brütal Legend, this time showing us a little background for the game's plot. Judging by the movie-like quality of the video, I'd say that EA isn't skimping on the promotion. Could it be that we'll have a Double Fine game that gets the marketing it deserves?
This game is easily looking like one of this year's hottest titles, and it'll be a long wait until "Rocktober" and the game's official launch. We'll be sure to keep you posted as and when we get more on this game, because we'll gladly find the time to talk about it.
Jim Sterling serves as reviews editor for Destructoid.com, head of the Podtoid podcast, and produces a number of news stories, original features, one-of-a-kind videos. With his passionate argumentative style, controversial opinions, harsh delivery, and dedication to brutal honesty Sterling is a name that you can't help but recognize.

<stares at it for a while, watching the trailer over and over and inspecting every single second of it. Finally, the reply of all replies occurs in his mind...>
yes, looks pretty badass an it will probably play well too, but will it SELL? will EA's gamble pay off? because it's just not evident at all right now...
After the long tease-period I'm glad to finally see some content in the last month or so. I am looking forward to this game with a great deal of anticipation.
Seeing Jack Black as a roadie seems to fit him the best, out of every other role I have ever seen him as. I believe this will be an enjoyable experience.
It's impossible for Tim Schafer to make a bad game, or that's what it seems like after so many great games in a row. This game looks like it'll definitely keep the streak going. Can't wait, definitely one of my most anticipated games this year.

The fact that you own every console doesn't mean shit. and please don't use "Kid", I thought we were over that already. Remember, you aren't the end-all source of information for video games, so don't act like it. Not trying to insult you, just saying.
Actually I am a robot designed in the future sent back in time to be the irrefutable, absolute knower of all game information ever. I'm like DATA, except I look like Vin Diesel, talk like Brian on Family Guy, and rather than be programmed in intergalactic expertise, I'm programmed to know every detail of every Earth game from beginning to end.

YES.
I said I wasn't going to be buying anymore games for a while but I might get down on my knees for this one.
I guess may-october is long enough
all people need to do now is buy this game
That's because you have Vin Diesel as your avatar and your user name is commanderpoopypants..... I'm guessing you don't get a lot of things.
Yes.
God yes.
FUCK
YES
I just hope they don't play up the army of followers too much. I can't see that being done very well.
Pre-ordering for sure.
