The Guy Game in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

The newly formed Topheavy Studios (run by Jeff Spangenberg, former head of Retro Studios, which was responsible for the GameCube hit Metroid Prime) set out just over a year ago to create a videogame for this demographic. Appropriately named The Guy Game, Topheavy's unique new home console title is the very epitome of that goal. <B

Here it is 4 a.m. in the morning and I am pondering the meaning of existence. Actually my ass is sore from playing Resident Evil: Code Veronica X for the ps2 and decided to hop online.
