We received some assets from D3 Publisher tonight for Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon, which is coming in less than a month. Marvel at gigantic bugs and guys in ridiculous suits fighting them. July is going to be awesome.
Making a sequel to a product which has achieved a cult status has to be so difficult, though. Take The Rocky Horror Picture Show as an example. When it comes to being a rock musical and a subversive social commentary, the follow-up Shock Treatment outclasses. But in putting the central freaks into suits instead of corsets it took some of the identity away. In the case of Barry Humphries, maybe we should count our blessings.
God, I hope there’s somebody out there who knows what the hell I’m talking about here because it sure as hell isn’t me.
