It's on the front page of the Itunes games store. Anyone planning on buying this?

I don't know what to think of this. I wonder if the results from songs are as random as the results from different CDs in Monster Rancher.

I already adore the story of this game. "Robots and humans working together? Nooooooo!". Epic. What a plot twist.



Tag: Became a freaking mod and a complete douche, coincidentally, at the same time.



Pretty soon they will release games for calculators.



This pretty much came out of nowhere.

However, it says SE is the publisher...who is the developer?



Tag - "No trolling on my watch!"

Thats pretty cool.



"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

*goes off to dig his ipod 60gig out of the drawer*

I will give a review soon :)



Makes sense. The ipod is huge, if they can tap into only a small percentage of the audience it'll be a success.



*Get's his Ipod classic back from his gf*

*Goes again to his gf, then finds out she bought the new coldplay with it & faints..*
