'SPLODE!

So, I broke down and got 'Splosion Man, or more accurately, I bought it right after release and was yet to play it until recently. Holy fuck. It's like N+ on PCP, in the most awesome way possible. It is probably the only game on XBLA that can make you legitimately retarded, as there's only so many times you can 'SPLODE! until you start saying 'SPLODE! every time you 'SPLODE! and just go 'SPLODE! until your brain rots. 'SPLODE!

Anyway, Hardcore mode is probably going to be a bitch, but I'm told that if I found N+ easy (I did), that 'Splosion Man would be a good challenge. I don't think I'll be going at it in one stretch, so it won't be done any time in the near future, but eventually.

One thing I like about the game is how designed it is, that you're supposed to be escaping from an underground laboratory but there's all these things you need to jump on that have no practical purpose. Also, the Pause Menu is some guy looking at you through a CC TV and grinning. So, obviously, you're playing a guy intentionally set free to fun amok in the facility, probably constituting a conspiracy. So there you go.
