Why is this not getting a big news story headline? Not a FPS or RTS so it's relagated to the doldrums of the news?

Hmm. Like many others here (I'm sure) I played the original back in the day & loved it to pieces. I have to say that these 3D graphics in SM2 seem really inappropriate. It's based on a comic book! My best bet is that they'll turn it into a platformer, but then why not at least give it cell-shaded graphics (like the new Zelda)? This here just looks awkward.

I love how Max is jumping on that guy saying

LOL LOL LOL! If you watch the new Freddy vs. Jason trailer that just premiered today as well, Freddy Krueger yells "WHY WON'T YOU DIE?!" to Jason. Hilarious.
