Imagine taking an 80s cartoon a 2D platformer and League of Legends and smushing them all together, you end up with Awesomenauts!

Fun little team vs team game available on Steam / XBox Live and Playstation 3 for less than $10!

http://www.awesomenauts.com/

There are currently 8 different characters/classes to play as, you can upgrade them during the game using pre-selected power ups, but basically it's just a fun team vs team free for all.

The soundtrack is, well, awesome! 80s inspired video game music http://youtu.be/48xz6DNWLr8 not to mention that each character gets their own theme music (I dare you to listen to Froggy G's intro loop and not find yourself humming it later http://youtu.be/P6Wnx6sulVo ).

Anyway, I just started playing the game, I suck but it's fun! Like TF2

Also I made some totally rad fanarts already :D

I wish I was playing Awesomenauts, right now, over lunch.

So far my favourite characters are Froggy G and Leon, I unlocked Clunk last night but I really suck at playing tank type characters. I'm more of a hit and run specialist :D

I love how with most characters you are trying to knock out towers, except for Leon that is, you get all excited when one of your towers is under attack because it means you can loop back around behind your foes and stab some back :lol:

The game itself is hilarious, all the dialogue fits the theme perfectly, I'm looking forward to unlocking more!

Oh yeah, if you're still scratching your head over this watch the beta review by TotalBiscuit: http://youtu.be/bzhBEPsgQQw

Woo yeah!

Also there are new skins, one of which changes Lonestar into... AXE COP!

I am out of town for the weekend but I think i can start squeezing in some evening play time during the week.

Mr. Analog

Huzzah!

Yeah, I'm out for a couple days myself but I have a real hankering to play some more multi-player stuff (and of course Awesomenauts will factor into this!)

As well ... L4D!! I don't know why I never played this stupid game really all that much before, I like it. Like a lot! The n00b is finally wearing off

Mr. Analog

You are all now official Awesomenauts!

Mercenaries who want to join the fight! If I missed you it's either:
a) You're not on Steam
b) Not in the RW Steam group

Aww yeah!

It's 3v3 so we can team up, if we can get 6 of us together... mayhem!

Thx Mr. Analog!!!! Played some today, definitly different on a mouse and keyboard.  Have to try it with my controller next.  Fast pace but not crazy.  Have to see when I can fit it in with xcom out tuesday and Civ 5 (free with xcom pre-order reward system) owning my life lately.
Sometimes I Think Before I Type... Sometimes!

Mr. Analog

The main thing I like is that it's pick up and play, you can quickly jump in and have some fun.
