Up until about two months ago, Brutal Legend wasn't anywhere on my list of games that I must own this year. That all changed the night I met Tim Schafer and he demonstrated to me what Brutal Legend was all about. Ten minutes into the preview with Tim, I knew that I must own Brutal Legend.
If you read Nick's preview on the game, then you pretty much have a basic understanding of Brutal Legend's story already so the clip after the break from GameTrailers TV won't be much of a surprise. The scene takes place shortly after main character Eddie Riggs and Ophelia return to the resistances base of operation where Eddie realizes his purpose in the strange new land he was magically transported to.
And yes, I really mean what I say in the title of this post. You must get this game when it's released this Rocktober.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Hell, I want it, and I didn't even like Psychonauts!
Well tell me something I didn't already decide when the game was first announced.
BRING ON THE BRUTALITY!!
I've wanted this game since it was announced.
She's still half clothed. Clearly you are not that excited. =P
Nonetheless, overlooking the stiff animation and the fact that the chick's shirt clips into her arm... looks good.
Even though I was planning on a day-one-limitededitioniftheydoone-purchase anyway.
I know I'll be missing out a good game but I just can't do it guys.
My list now stands like this:
Prototype in June
MvsC2 in July
Bioshock 2 and Brutal Legend in Oct
And Batman somewhere inbetween.
My favorite tidbit so far was from an interview where he said this is the kind of world where hot rod engines form naturally within the earth... wow!
