    This guy needs to take some public speaking lessons. He sounds like a robot with his broken speech patterns and confused inflection. Considering this review was done two years ago, I hope he's gotten better (or isn't doing reviews anymore). I could hardly understand him, and it didn't sound like he understood what he was reading either (I mean saying).

    Actually, I think Gamespot needs to stop simply having their reviewers read out the reviews as written, as people speak and write in different ways. They need to write it like a speech, and keep in mind that its must be spoken in a natural sounding way.

    I miss Greg Kasavin. When he reviewed a game, it just sounded like a guy talking to you about a game. This guy sounds like he's reading lines from a teleprompter, and has no idea where his sentences are going to end.

    Michael Keaton and Nathan Drake had a love-child; his name is Jason Flemming.

    One of the BEST games I've played & enjoyed on the XBox 360. Kool, storyline & artwork. Well worth $20 bucks +.

    haha looks like him and Ricky Bobby have something in common. They have no clue what to do with their hands.

    @jt2428

    Seriously! I had to rewind the first 20 seconds of the video because I was distracted by the way he was holding his hands! He looks like he's a Marionette or something! WTF? Gamespot is an awesome website, why can't they find some useful actors for their reviews who can actually Read, Move and Make facial expressions at the same time!

    I can't stand this reviewer. Hearing his voice just makes me wanna eat a steak knife, and yet this guy wont leave. Please Gamespot get rid of him.

    Just got done playing the demo. Wow how it reminded me of Super Metroid for the old SNES. The different colored doors for different attacks. *Sniffles* Might have to break out my old snes and put in that game. Will be picking up a card later today and owning/playing this wonderfully made game. OORAH! for Shadow Complex!

    Shadow Complex and Trials HD are easily the two best Arcade games for the 360. I dare go so far as to say Shadow Complex is one of the best games for the 360 period. It's that good.

    It's on sale for 560 MS points this week.

    Better snatch it before it goes back up to 1200 pts again.

    Downloading the demo right now. I'm hoping I'll like it a lot, then maybe I'll buy the full version.

    and I would recommend Empire (the book it's based on) to anybody here. it's pretty fantastic

    This is a really good game. I downloaded the demo and decided I would give it a shot since I had heard such good things about it. I was surprised at how quickly and easily I was sucked in and purchased the full version only a 20 minutes after starting the demo. It is really that good.
