Inside Mac Games' Ted Bade has posted a new review of Bastion from Supergiant Games and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The action role playing game challenges players to discover the secrets of the Calamity, a catastrophe that shattered the world. The game features more than 40 environments to explore, hand-painted artwork, and more than 10 unique upgradeable weapons.

Here's an excerpt:

The narrator is a major entertaining aspect of Bastion. He comments on just about every action you make the Kid do. It’s quite amusing to hear his comments. Complete a mission, and he comments on this, fall off the edge and he points out that "The Kid" needs to be careful about the edges, defeat a monster and he praises your actions, kill lots of some variety of monster, and he makes a comment, learn a new weapon and he comments on your use of it. The dialog is almost as endless as it is funny! Even if you click on him when there is no reason for it, he will say something like, "sometimes there is just nothing to say." I was impressed that the game producers made comments for just about every possible action, no matter how important or un-important it is toward playing the game. I am sure they put a few comments in there just in case players decided to try something unusual!
