A giant chair and chess table would actually be a pretty cool art piece. Read more

Blech. It's one of those clumsy "it's funny because it's offensive" jokes. They missed an opportunity to use a better name that fits the game like "Wok and Roll" (there was a real place called this when I went to college).

Fahey?

I was hoping my local GameStop would have a midnight launch so I could pick my wife's console up and start playing this game, but they didn't so I'm forced to sit around work daydreaming about killing OD instead of ACTUALLY killing OD. Read more

Kirk Hamilton and I have both found Sunset Overdrive's garage-rock-fueled soundtrack incredibly bland and irritating. Like some other unseemly aspects of the game's tone and style, this unfortunately makes the whole experience of playing an otherwise fun game much less enjoyable than it should be. If you feel the same… Read more

I was surprised when I killed an orc captain, and he just respawned instantly, right where I "killed" him... thought it was a bug! Read more

The art style of this game SCREAMS MTV. That's not good. Read more

I appreciate the depth of your feelings about this game splayed out in the review. I do get the impression, though, that you let the joke get under your skin early on and didn't make much of an effort to move past it.

all i can think of is that this game seems to have the exact same humor as e3 presentations: absolute cringe. makes saint's row look like a comedy award winner Read more

So in other words, it's a good game, it just tries too hard. Read more

The more I see of this game, the more I'm reminded of No More Heroes. Not necessarily with the gameplay (since they're obviously worlds apart there), but with the humor and tone. No More Heroes is always the first thing that comes to mind when I think of self-referential video games and making all those "don't take… Read more

Great review! Exactly what I thought this game would be and exactly the reasons I won't be picking it up. The whole package puts me off. Read more

That's Sunset Overdrive in a nutshell. At every conceivable turn, it tries to give the player a wink and a nudge—a friendly yet forceful acknowledgement that yes, this is a game, it's not meant to be taken seriously, and we should all appreciate that so we can ease into its zany bombast. But it delivers this same joke… Read more

I appreciate that your "yes" is couched in enough detail that it enables me to make a decision for myself that could be the opposite. Read more

Damn nothing worse than listening to bad humor in a game that you actually like playing. Well there are worse things, but that still is pretty bad. Read more

I suppose so, however... Pizza every day for every meal... Doesn't sound too shabby.... Until I get heart disease. Read more

This looks like a visual depiction of one of those discussions you had as a kid when playing with your action figures:
