I didn't even know about this game. I just went ahead and bought the physical copy. Shipping is almost as much as the game which is great. Honestly I don't remember picking a shipping option so I probably accidentally selected same-day or something. Oh well. I guess the bank won't be getting a house payment this month. Eff 'em, Shadow of the beast is better anyway.

The soundtrack alone is better than my entire home + garage + car freshener + children.

You two are fun. Mr. Joe, guy, sir, if anything ever happens to Dave, you're willing to move esteban into your basement and have him take over, yes?

No. Only corpses are allowed to live in my basement. Dave will move into the basement once he's a corpse. However he can visit the basement, be on the show and admire the corpses with me.

EDIT: So is this a reboot or a remake? To me it looks like a reboot. Too bad because we JUST got done making a reboot-themed episode. Oh well, next time!

*An esteban and Game Sack crossover, hmm? That'd be hot sauce. Bucci/esteban/Game Sack crossover..? Fire sauce, I say, fire sauce!

*Looks like a reboot, by that I mean it'd be cool if it did well and was the start of a new series.

Just posting here to say that yes, Shadow of the Beast PS4 is absolutely fantastic.  It's not the best PS4 game, but it's possibly the best PS4 exclusive so far.

The rhythm of the action is so refreshing.  It's a bit methodical (like oldschool Prince of Persia or Out of this World) but has the scoring/replayability of a DMC.

EDIT: it also has some Psygnosis-themed Easter Eggs

This and Salt Souls is probably going to break my vow to never buy digital games (other than Steam).

Some of the easter eggs are hilarious.  You can spot sprites from games on the buildings.


I posted on their Facebook to thank them for not f*cking the game up.

The were glad that I "got" the combat system.

It's definitely rhythmic.   You are not supposed to just flail like Michael J Fox trying to do the YMCA.
