Yeah, I've never needed a Gold subscription to buy anything. Also, I never said Xbox Live Arcade wasn't restrictive I said I didn't think Steam was restrictive.

I went ahead and went to the bandcamp link and I've gotta say the soundtrack reminds me of Firefly in quite a few places. Color me interested.

Out of the Summer of Arcade 360 games, this is my favourite. Worth cost of admission.

Oh nice, only the soundtrack is on sale now. I guess I'll make it part of the casualties of the holiday sale later.

I enjoyed the demo quite a bit, but I probably won't pick it up till next month. I spent the bulk of my fun money budget on Deus Ex: HR and booze for this month and next.

The only hold ups I have are that I'd love to play with a controller, but I don't own a 360 nor do I want to buy a 360 controller. I have an old PS2 to USB converter that works fine for me, but it looks like without an emulator I'm out of luck for using that. And that kinda crap has irked me since I bought ARES. Is it really that hard for developers to map keys to a gamepad that they need to standardize it?

Even with that, the game looks great and the keyboard is functional to use. Worst case, I'll wait for it to go on sale sometime. But everything I've seen and heard (like the soundtrack) about the game is amazing.

You can always use something like Joytokey or Xpadder if you wanna use a controlpad.

Is there a secret ending I can get where this game's narrator comes to my house and reads me bedtime stories every night?

hahaha

I heard the voice was pretty good. That definitely sounds like a confirmation.
