Anybody had a chance to play this yet? It's like Secret of Mana and Legend of Mana got together and had a love child. This game is seriously fun. Gorgeous to look at, laugh out loud funny to listen to (the narrator is freaking hilarious), and controlling the kid is silky smooth.

Too bad I was in such a rush to play this game that I picked it up on XBLA rather than wait for the PC release. Oh well, 1.5 weeks I'll pick it up on Steam. I'm learning I need to have some patience to wait for the eventual PC release of pretty much every XBLA game out there.

Anyways, try it, buy it, it's a good old school romp that deserves a play through.

Bastion quickly became one of my favourite arcade games. I thought the story was very captivating along with everything else you said. I'm pretty sure I shed a tear or two during the credits.

I don't often say $15 for a download game is worth it, but this one truly is. I'm tempted to create box art for it and put it on a DVD case just to show it off on my shelf.

That's what I've heard happens. I'm way looking forward to it. The story was captivating from minute one.

I absolutely loved Bastion. The narrator's voice is worth the price tag of the game alone.

Why does Xbawks get all the good games? I'm hoping this comes to PSN one day... like Limbo.

And yeah, I know I can get it on Steam but my computer can barely run flash games, and it's full of more viruses than a free clinic.

It should go to PSN but it will be six months to a year behind the eight ball. I picked it up on XBLA not knowing it was going to be on PC so it's going to be a $30 game for me and I'm fine with that.

Debating if I should wait for the 360 sale or Steam sale or whatever or just buy it.

I was thinking the same thing Link as I have a ton over XBLA games I got on sale I still need to play as well as a bunch of games from the last Steam sale I need to go through.

I loved this game. Beat it last week. I haven't played a XBLA arcade game that got me sucked in since Limbo.

Bought it day one didn't play a whole lot of it yet. I like it a lot I can't wait to fully play through it when I get around to it. It's the game of the Summer of Games line up.

Just snagged it off of Steam. I played the Demo on XBL, but wanted to go with it on the PC. Not much is different, aside from controls, but damn this game is beautiful.

Fun as hell. Reminds me of Legend of Mana in terms of style.

Beat this game over the weekend. One of the better games I've played in a while. It just amped up in terms of narrative and story as the game went on.

Spoiler
Now I just have to play the last level again to get the 2nd ending. That blew my mind.

The multiple choices at the end felt semi-forced, but I suppose it adds some coolness to the replay value.

Spoiler
I'm curious if by restarting the world and all the talk about history repeating is almost like an in-game explanation for New Game +. If so... well played. I left the new world and saved zulf, so now I'm going to kill him and let the world repeat.

In your New Game+ when you get to the bar, Rucks has a double take saying "Wait, haven't I....?" ti imply he has a vague recollection of telling this story before.
