My interest in video games has waned considerably since the days of Jet Force Gemini and Ocarina of Time, to the point that nowadays I find my tastes narrowed down to only the most ridiculously bizarre/off-base of titles. Speaking of which...
This badboy comes out tomorrow. Straight from Suda 51 comes a lovely little number complete with the insane premise you'd expect from the creator of Killer 7.
All of the reviews/previews I've read through so far seem to be overwhelmingly positive; one site even gave it a 9.4/10 while at the same time dubbing it "hatstand chicken-punching bonkers". A nice excerpt:
The words "Laser-firing crotch" are enough to make me want this game very badly. Who's with me?
Here's a nice vid if you're into that kind of stuff.

Danke schön, IGNIn this adventure game directed by Goichi Suda (of Killer 7 fame), you play as Travis Touchdown, a normal guy (with an otaku geek streak to him) who wins a Beam Katana through an online auction and uses the weapon to start a new career as a professional killer. One day, an assassin named Helter Skelter appears before Travis and the two face off in a battle. Travis emerges victorious and finds himself in the presence of Silvia Christel, a mysterious French woman who claims to be an agent with the UAA. Silvia gives Travis official rank of 11 in the organization. Now, it's up to you to become #1.

Danke schön, CVG.comWhen Travis saves, he saves on the toilet; when his batteries run low, he holds the handle at waist height and cranks on it until it fires back up; when love interest Sylvia bends over, he checks out her behind.
He's a simple man with a simple mission, and his world is infected with insanity - villains include British body-mod fetishist Death Metal; Virtual Boy-wearing Letz Shake; and Destroy Man, with his laser-firing crotch. They are, by far, gaming's strangest bosses, and every one fights a very different fight.
