Man this game looks like it'll hold me over until other stuff comes later :)

What was cool is you found out you don't have as much free time as you originally thought. 5 minutes real time is one game hour I believe (when cutscenes aren't rolling) You'll have different cases to go investigate which requires you to be at a certain place at a certain time should you not make it in time you'll restart from your last checkpoint. The best option to have the most freetime is to finish the cases as quickly as possible then you can mess around in between waiting for the moment for the next case.

This janitor will be calling you quite a lot to give you information on innocent people trapped throughout the mall.

95% complete version you can tell they obviously need to do some tightening up on the framerate just a bit, but they have more than enough time I think to fix it. (It isn't that bad though)

If you're going to announce HD movies, make sure they are freely available.
Average Joe is only going to get the 320x180 videos, and that's not HD... last time I checked.

Anyway, the game looks really fun.

Doesn't that go against your agreement as an Insider?

I have one word, Rotovator....

You'll see what I mean when the game ships ;-)

I have to admit, first time I saw this game I hated it, but now, it's actually looking pretty fun, I might even buy this one.
Only thing that concerns me is the "replay value".
Anytime a game is short but has a lot of "replay value", it usually means I'll play it through once, and never again...

There it is: next-gen!
