No no, dear reader, not The Maw like the
Halo level, but rather the maw as in the
gullet of a voracious animal. See,
The Maw has to do with Frank (the player, and character on the right of the above screen) and the game's namesake (the purple blob on the left). Both of whom are aliens trying to use the Maw's insatiable appetite to eat items, change shape from them, change the items themselves, and somehow use this to return Frank home.
Sounds like an interesting concept, sort of mixture of
PowerUp Forever and
Katamari Damacy, and given Twisted Pixels' stated
commitment to "a lengthy, full scope, single-player experience" as well as "personality and humor" we'll be keeping an eye on this one as more is released. Also worth noting is an
unannounced game of theirs that looks like it's style could fit XBLA too ...

Hard to tell if it's any good from the screens. I'll give the trial a go and see.

Where is the Warthog?

A good idea for a game would be if the Maw from Halo was made into a game.
You have to drive your warthog accross various levels avoiding all the crap, making jumps and reach the end before the timer runs out.
They could do a co-op mode where player 2 mans the turret.

Dude, great idea.

Well, that doesn't sound very interesting, however this post did result in my googling PowerUp Forever and that DOES sound interesting.

I was really, really, I mean really wanted a level that was just the last levels of the odd-numbered Halo games over and over. Sad to say that this isn't it. It seems to me reminiscent of the Gamecube game Cubivore. Or a 3D version of those "fish" ( http://www.xgenstudios.com/play/fishyclassic ) games.
