In my never-ending quest to get people buying Tim Schafer games, I pose a question:
Is the Milkman Conspiracy the greatest platforming level ever created in a game? If not, what is? And though the gameplay is a bit awkward at moments and the puzzles unintuitive, have you ever played a level that had more imaginitive and clever portions to it as The Milkman Conspiracy?
Next up, I'm going to convince every last one of you to buy Brutal Legend when it releases. And to go play Grim Fandango and almost every other LucasArts game from 1990-2000.
Tim... Scafer... Taking... Over my... Brain... Must... Listen...
Seriously though, why don't people buy his games? It's frustrating that games like Ratchet and Clank do well (though they are quite good) while another platformer that offers truly genius design and environments gets a foot up its ass for actually trying to break some boundaries. And then to see a game like SMG take some of Psychonauts mind-bending gravity sections and then get sunshine blown up its ass for being so new and different.
Bold prediction: Brutal Legend will be one of the best games of the year and will struggle to top 300k worldwide.
