Insert fist in mouth: Deadly Premonition now available photo

Deadly Premonition. Either you "get it," like us, or you're a normal human being and will never be able to comprehend what makes it so entertaining. Hopefully you have already seen these two posts on the game -- each contains a marvelous video. If not, brace yourself for greatness.

Much to our surprise (and delight), Deadly Premonition is out now for Xbox 360 at the highly-affordable going rate of $19.99. A press release confirming as much was sent out earlier today, and -- get this -- the game's got fishing and racing mini-games!

When reached for comment, Dale North responded with "hnnnng Deadly Promotion." We were unable to determine if that was a positive or a negative remark. Perhaps it's both? You can look forward to a review from Jim in the very near future.

I'm pretty gutted to find out that the game isn't region free. I'd love to see a PAL release but that whole business between Marvelous and Rising Star Games recently doesn't leave me with much hope.

I've been playing this for a few days now, and I have to say I really really like it. The gameplay is a tad slow, but the story is pretty interesting. There is a lot to do beyond the main story too, a whole open world aspect. The graphics are surprisingly solid for a budget game, as is the writing. For 20 bucks this is one of the best budget games I've played. And it's long too, I'm in episode 3 of 7 and already at 9 hours of play.

I bought it. I love it. It's really fresh and creative. Really awesome if your as into movies as I am. Lots of hidden references.

I expected it to be cheesy and real crappy, but it's actually one of the most complex and interesting games I've played this generation.

That being said, it has awful graphics and some of the worst controls I've ever encountered. So there's a bit of give and take.

But for 20 dollars you can't go wrong. It's also not as devoid of heart and soul as most of the recent games I've played (Like darksiders)

Really glad to hear people are digging it. I know Jim is. I plan to go get a copy as soon as I have some solid free time.

Picked it up last Thursday at Gamestop so bloody amazing. It's a ton of fun and one of the most interesting games to come out this generation for $20.00 you can't go wrong with it. Compared to how much more complex it is than a mainstream game it's kind of baffling that this game lasts longer than most of them.

If you don't see it on a store shelf, ask for it. I had to get mine under the counter.

Also, this game is fucking amazing.

Apparently a shit ton of content got cut after the developers got legal threats because the game was too similar to Twin Peaks.

Please get Jim to do a "Why Deadly Premonition is blatantly better than Heavy Rain." Since idiotic fanboys seem to like claiming DP is the 360's answer to Heavy Rain.

Damnit I knew there was a reason I went to Gamestop the other day. I ended up wandering around for half an hour trying to remember what I had come to pick up. Ended up just dropping my cash down for Bad Company 2. That was an acceptable conclusion to my trip, but now I must return to purchase this.

To those who thinks this game sucks: You cannot be possibly more wrong.

One more confirmation that Destructoid is the best gaming community on the internet. I, too, have been loving DP (wow, that sounds dirty). Every other site seems to be going out of its way to say that if you like this game then you're retarded. Thanks again, Dtoid, for letting me know there are others out there with good taste in games.

@bundito

You get 50GS for every chapter you complete, plus 100 for completing on Easy, 150 on Medium, and 200 for hard. And 150 more for collecting all trading cards (which do appear on your map). No random "do x one hundred times" or anything, you just have to collect all collectibles and beat the game. I've heard that the difficulties do not stack though.

I'm curious, especially because IGN gave it a 2.
