Here's hoping they bring this to PC a lot sooner then they did the last game.As said in the QL, it looks like it could be fun to mess around the co-op with a friend for a few nights if they sell it for around $5-$10.

How do you go from Greed Corp to this D:

Also, this was quite an awkward Quick look...

It's become similar to making fun of Michael Jackson. It's so pathetic that it's not even worth the insult.

Wow, it's pretty annoying how Alex gets all grumpy with Jeff when he's just walking himself right into missiles... :|

Are they just pretending to hate each other or is that hate actually real? Because it sure seems like Jeff and Alex hate each others guts in this Quick Look. And on a side note, you two guys are REALLY hard to please. This looks like a great game. It's 15 bucks, that's 1/4 the price of any regular boxed game out there, and I guarantee you are going to get more than 1/4 the content of one of those games. 


It looks like lots of fun, if not perfect.

Everybody here commenting about tension between alex and whoever else in the quick looks is pretty much on the money. Tension is probably the wrong word...more like awkwardness. Alex makes most video's he is a part of..... awkward (sorry duder, just an observation)..Personally, I avoid Alex quick looks for this reason alone.

Perhaps, I just don't see why. At least in this video. It just seemed like he was following along with the joke line these guys here at GB normally run with. At best he skips a beat and throws a few things off, but I don't understand the tension. They all seem like decent guys overall. Hmm. Still though, game looks good, and even for 15 bucks.

So, Alex is standing on the right. The carts come down, including one on the right. He then moves across the screen to the left, shoots those carts near Jeff, and then blames Jeff for missing the cart on the right and tells him to guard over there. And then Jeff does the same thing a minute later moving away from his carts to shoot at one dude firing missiles.

Sometimes I wish whoever is playing a game with Alex during a Quick Look would say "Alex... No. Just... stop, nobody is laughing, and we kinda need to show people what this game is actually about, you are losing sales for this game by the second."

I feel quite the opposite. Awkwardness and tension is great comedy, and every quicklook with Jeff and Alex is fucking hilarious. I love the underplayed hate-relationship-thing the get going on every quicklook. "Don't you judge me!"

I feel sorry for anyone taking it seriously and thinking these two bros dont love working together. They've done it for years for christ sake. Hope to see more Alex quicklooks in the future.

This was really awkward to watch. I get it is probably for comic effect but those silences between the comments they made were too long and too frequent.

Meh i suppose no-one talks much when they are concentrating, just doesn't make for a compelling quicklook.

It's just as Francis York Morgan said. You start humming Superman's theme, but ends up with Star Wars.

Nice to see Alex in another QL.

God I hope he doesn't read the comments and takes them remotely serious or to heart.
16 year olds in their basement with internet warrior syndrome is fucking childish.

People listening to commentary of Alex and Jeff playing an action video game and thinking or trying to think that they hate each other from that are pretty ridiculous.

Take a break from the internet and go outside, get some fresh air.  What are you guys talking about?  They have been friends for years.

One could say that John Williams' music from the Star Wars films is a rip off of Gustav Holst's music.

I played the demo this morning, and had a surprising amount of fun. I really like the steampunk look of the game. My only complaint was the camera scrolling they mentioned, sometimes it is a bit too slow, and it also prevents you from backtracking at all.

Will probably pick this up, though it'd be nice to know about how long the campaign is.

Some scenes were supposed to take place in Finland, but I doubt they were actually filmed there. Wasn't there one scene were they depicted Helsinki, Finland's capital city (about the same size as the capitals of the other Nordic countries, i,e. not huge but a decent one million population), as a lone hut in a snowy wasteland, with some dudes killing each other with axes?

Wait a minute...Alex isn't in New York!?! Or Jeff is!?! HOW IS THIS QUICK LOOK POSSIBLE!?!!?!?!!

At any rate, great QL Giant Bombers. I've been looking forward to this because I'm weird and liked/remembered EA's old PSOne game, Future Cop LAPD. Even though it's unrelated, and closer to typical dual stick shooter DLGs from this generation, I still quite enjoy seeing a bipedal mecha stomp around shooting the crap out of stuff from a top down view:)

You guys should really Quick Look MDK2 on Wiiware next. C'mon Jeff...you know you want to. It's MDK2! From the Dreamcast era. A bioware game now on wiiware? SOMETHING TO PLAY on Wiiware!?! You'd know about this if the Nintendownload X-Press was still going on...
