One thing that really annoyed me were the commercials. There was a shrill voice singing "I'M GOININ FOR THE KIIIILLLL I'M DOINIT FOR THE THRIIIILLLL" It makes no sense as a song, and if they're trying to imitate the pop culture songs on the radio, I've yet to hear anything like this. If this game really IS a parody like No More Heroes, then the point wasn't made clear to me.

Something is off-putting about Bayonetta's design to me, and not because she seems to be flailing her sex around to make Lara Croft seem like a nun. I'm not quite sure how to put it, but she seems...old. Like, if you changed her hair to white and gave her normal clothes, she wouldn't look out of place at a help desk at a library. Perhaps it's those old-people glasses. I can't be sure.

Can't say anything about the game itself though, as I haven't seen any videos of it.

Wow, that is pretty awesome. I really liked the bit of the song from the commercial but having now heard more of their stuff I'm definitely going to get some of it off itunes.

Oh good, new Lupin III game. Looks good. Heracles as well. Didn't even know that was a series. Wish I had a DS >.>

Wow--it's an actual song? I thought it was done as some sort of joke. I feel old.

Why does this version feel faster and the commercial version have an American accent instead? Is it some license-related knockoff? Maybe it's just how I remember it though...
