Huh? Deadly Premonition will be $20 at launch? SOLD! photo

For once, this isn't sarcasm. I have a weak spot for technically awful, semi-decent, usually goofy budget videogames such as, yes, Jurassic: The Hunted. Deadly Premonition, which was announced yesterday for an early 2010 release on Xbox 360, easily falls into this category.

And, according to Ignition Entertainment's Shane Bettenhausen, it'll only cost $19.99 on day one.

Curious about why a creepy girl put her hand in the mouth of the protagonist? Me too! It won't take a serious investment to find out why anyone would do such a thing, human or otherwise, which is always good news.

Holy shit. That's for the Xbox 360? I literally thought it was a Wii game. I'd rather spend the $20 on something like The Orange Box.

God, I want this for the PS3. Oh well, horror will have to wait until The Calling.

Wow, just finished watching the trailer and its chock full of wtf. If the writing is as bad as the trailer is then it's a day one buy for me. After watching this trailer and others like Two Worlds 2 (haha, Two Worlds 2) I wish there was an equivalent to Mystery Science Theater 3000 for vidja games.

The problem with summer movies is I don't get to watch them until much later. Going to the theater is expensive, y'all.

Hells yeah. I am right there with you - " a weak spot for technically awful, semi-decent, usually goofy budget videogames." My friend Amanda and I had tons of fun with Obscure 2 and I think that would fall into this category.
