I loved Psychonaughts, but am I the only one who is a little afraid for Double Fine? I mean they basically went from a pure epicness, original IP that did not sell well (and I am also guilty of this, I only played because of the most epic Midweek madness of all time) to Jack Black's Jack Black game featuring Jack Black and now a licensed game. I really hope that DF will just get free rein one of these days.
Eh? They do have free reign. They wanted to make an action-RTS about a heavy metal roadie who goes back in time to the age of metal... and that's exactly what they did. They wanted to make a game about a storybook world of monsters, and thought it would be cool to integrate the Sesame Street license into it... and that's exactly what they did.

Also Brutal wasn't "Jack Black's Jack Black game" that's just how EA chose to market it. He was the voice actor and partial inspiration for the main character and nothing more.

What about Costume Quest and Stacking?

Two Xbox arcade exclusives, one of which i had not even heard of before. I am not so connected anymore, but If I had never heard of it, then most of the general public probebly has not either (which sucks).

I might just be being sing tunes of doom for no good reason.

After how people bit giant holes in that game?

Well combine this and the return of point and click Humongous games the EC rating might make a viable comeback.
