I’m not going to claim to be a prophet, but I think it can safely be said I’m “touched” in some way. Over a week ago I postulated on the need to start seriously getting excited for Silicon Knights’ opus, Too Human. Earlier this week the floodgates were opened, and the web was inundated with positive news on where the team has taken the game during the quiet time we’ve endured the last year. The verdict is, I was right it is indeed time to get started with the lusting for 2008 on the Xbox 360.

The game has received immense amounts of polish; even in the current unfinished state it is reportedly a fun game. That’s all I’m asking, a great game with an interesting story. We’ve come to a time in the games industry that games need to do more than force story on top of the game, and Too Human looks to be weaving the Norse mythology and central story directly into the level design. I hope that translates into a fully immersive world that is as much fun to explore as it is to kill bad guys in.

Unfortunately the date of release is still in the TBD category, but to tide you over we have a few screenshots to glance at below. Whatever engine the game is using is clearly impressive, as these are some of the best looking shots of Too Human to date. Now that internet forum backlash is waning I’m happy to be proven correct. If you’re good there might even be a few videos in the mix for you when you scroll down.
