Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

This thread is about this here game:
It is an awesome little game made by Ninja Theory and written by the dude who wrote 28 Days Later and Sunshine. It sadly got looked over by most people during the Holiday frenzy.
The story follows Monkey, a drifter who travels the post-apocalyptic wastes of New York in a world where machines have wiped out most of humanity. It is an adaptation of sorts of the ancient Chinese novel, Monkey: Journey to the west.
He is mo-capped and voiced by this dude:
He is awesome.
Also, he drives a motorcycle and fights with a bo staff and has a hover-disk named Cloud. Yes, he is Wolverine and Goku in the future.
His companion is Trip, a member of one of the last surviving human settlements. She uses one of the machines slave headbands to force Monkey to help under pain of death. She is played by this lady:
Her video game character is significantly more attractive.
The game is a third person action-adventure thing, similar to a Prince of Persia game. What sets it apart is the absolutely fantastic motion capture and voice acting. The story is also very interesting and the world is gorgeous.
It's kinda short so maybe rent it or pick it up if you can find it for cheap!

I feel this AV Club review does the game justice.
Steam: cristke
It was one of the best 4 and a half hours of gaming I've ever spent though.

This had a pretty sweet demo but a lot of handholding. Does that let up later in the game?
objects glow sometimes and stuff but mainly it's just awesome stuff happening all the time

Trip helps out and is smart enough to stay the fuck out of the way during combat.
I just wish you got to use the Cloud a little more.
In the same way that From Prada to Nada is an "adaptation of sorts" of Sense and Sensibility.
Steaaaaaaam
whatever
Steaaaaaaam
or She's The Man is an "adaptation of sorts" of Twelfth Night.
yaoi?

Also, Andy Serkis is a crazyman.
When I was watching DE?AD play through this, he ran through one of the masks and it was a picture of Andy Serkis climbing a mountain. We both said "Andy Serkis went to the mountain!" which sounds like some weird redneck saying.
