We've not seen hide nor hair of Explodemon in ages, and I don't know why because this PlayStation Network title looks like a huge amount of fun. It's a comedic 2.5D action platformer and it's been announced to his in the fourth quarter of 2010. Basically, they're planning to have it out before the end of the year.
That's annoyingly vague, but the game deserves to be mentioned so I'm taking the excuse. It's inspired by classic Japanese videogames, and has a slight taste of 'Splosion Man about it, as the main character uses the power of self-destruction to fight baddies and solve puzzles.
It looks funny. I will buy it. Please be bringing it on!

But hey, fun is fun. I can get behind that!
When did I imply that I thought this was a bad thing? I said that it looked like 'Splosion Man meets Mega Man, that it looked like fun, and that I could get behind it. Seems pretty straightforward to me.
Hope it's good (and multiplatform)!
