An ancient machine presence has forced the god’s hand, and now Baldur is charged with defending humanity from an onslaught of monstrous war machines bent on the eradication of human life.

In “Too Human,” players are treated to a nonstop barrage of action powered by the seamless integration of melee and firearms combat, plus deep RPG elements fueled by breathtaking visuals enabled by the powerful Xbox 360.

Have to say that I have high hopes for this game. Although Silicon Knights is a fairly small game developer that have created consistently better games in the last few years topping it off with Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, arguably one of the best if not the best games to come out for the Gamecube. If they keep up with that trend this game should be absolutely amazing, although there is something to be said that a company at the top has nowhere left but to go down. With any luck that will not happen and this game will be another breakout hit, but we'll just have to wait and see. Although the graphics are not the best I've ever seen and some aspects of the game are still under wraps, accounting for a bit of confusion, it certainly has a lot of potential to be one of the great games of this coming years.

Edit: I've come across some other trailers, videos, images, and descriptions of the game along with an interview or two. From what I've gleaned form them I have to say that this game could very easily be a breakout hit if they deliver on everything they promised. The graphics are also much better then I thought they would be from some past screenshots when you get right into the game with all it's grit and detail. Came across an interview (http://gdc.gamespot.com/live.html?autoplay=6186635&tag=topslot;title;2&om_act=convert&om_clk=topslot) with one of the developers of Too Human, which you may find interesting.
