Too Human -- August 19
The Scoop: Too Human; By: Silicon Knights; From: Microsoft Game Studios; For: Xbox 360; Rating: Teen; ETA: August 19
Info: This game features cybernetic Norse gods versus machines versus run-of-the-mill human beings in an action-adventure that's part role-playing game, part dungeon crawler.
Matt: Once, twice, third time's the charm? Too Human has been kicking around since 1999, when it was supposed to be a four-disc opus for the original PlayStation. Since then it has been passing the hat and trawling for publishers (and even launched a few lawsuits). Who knows whether this Roger Zelazny-like tale about cybernetic Norse gods in a twitch-and-click action crawl has the right stuff, but Silicon Knights (Legacy of Kain, Eternal Darkness, and Metal Gear: The Twin Snakes) makes reputable games, and there's no reason to think this title won't be, too.
Darren: I'm with you on this one, Matt. I've been thinking optimistically about this game based on Silicon Knights' track record, but I don't know how much longer I can wait. Do I need to start creating a list of things that have happened in the time it has taken for this game to get finished? (My favorite is the Mars Lander project, which was conceived, constructed, launched, and on the planet's surface in less time than Too Human's development has spanned).
