Yea, hopefully it'll be soon. Thanks guys.

Still, Core looks awesome. Loved Beat so this is a no-brainer.

I think Monkey Island is out for PC today. I bet it'll be on Wiiware next week.

Oooh, that just reminded me to buy Bit Trip Beat. I should probably practice on that before attempting the harder Core. I'm glad that it has a co-op mode. Maybe I can get the BF to play with me.

Wait, wait, wait…Bit. Trip Core is out today? I thought Tales of Monkey Island was today.

Bit Trip was planned as a 6 episode series, wasn't it? I seem to remember a NP scan mentioning that. Not much wiggle room for plot twists. :)

Finally got to Growth today. Phew...

I read in an article that the creator wrote saying that the bosses in Beat were last minute additions and weren't originally planned to be included. He felt it was rushed on how they did it, but I honestly wouldn't know. It was really cool getting to the Descent "boss". It's pretty amazing that only three guys were behind creating this game. I know Anthony hates me saying that but I gotta!

The creator also mentioned the story will be more apparent around game 5 or 6, so it seems they're going to continue the series for some time. Sounds good!

Yep, it's there! That's when the game feels most intense, despite being in black & white and not having a backbeat.

Bit Trip Beat is equally difficult for one player, at least until the dot patterns are memorized. I guess that's part of their attempt to recapture and old-school feel.

Is there a similar mechanic as in Beat, where the screen loses all color and sound only comes from the remote when you are close to failing? I loved that.
