Rock of Ages is a game RPS has been terribly excited about for quite some time. Why? Well, because it’s about rolling a giant, apparently sentient and sadistic boulder through art, history and the history of art, with graphics by someone doing a very convincing Terry Gilliam impression. VIDEOGAMES!
Our desperate anticipation for this next game from the Zeno Clash madmen should soon be over – Rock of Ages lands in August. Well, August 31, which is basically September, but the important thing is it’s only ten weeks until I can fire a massive rock out of a cannon at the groin of Michelangelo’s David. Joystiq reckons it should cost between $10 and $15.

I find it wonderful that I’m building my first proper beastie gaming computer in years about a week before this comes out, so this will probably be the first new game I try on it, hah. I’m smiling. Smiling like a boulder.

it doesn’t seem possible that this will be bad.

This is the game I’m most excited about this year. It just looks so much fun, and I loved the weirdness of ZenoClash.
Some might even say it looks Marble-ous.

This game is going to rock.

I feel compelled to mirror your sediments.

Stop with this boulder-dash we need to play it before we can judge it.

So long as it doesn’t get a slateing, I shale be pre-ordering I think.

These guys made Zeno Clash ,which is one of my favourite games , can’t wait.

I’m really looking forward to this game, too, always willing to try something different and Zeno Clash was certainly different. So I dunno if this is frowned upon or not – I just registered an account so I could point out what I HOPE was a typo because of course the genius’ name is Gilliam, not Gillian.

It’s an RPS tradition that people whose last name starts with Gill are basically interchangeable.

If this is half as fun as Igneous I’m sold.
13/06/2011 at 11:32 The Hammer says:
Yeah, really looking forward to this. Ace Team do the BEST art styles, and the game itself looks tremendous, batshit fun to play. I can’t wait to get all sentient and sadist on history’s arse.

While this game does look interesting I’m more interested in ACE finishing this so they can get back to making a sequel to Zeno Clash, to be honest.

The face on the rock looks a lot like the mona lisa, but maybe I’m seeing things.

is it/she smiling or just a trick of the light?

Thanks for reminding me that I only have 10 weeks of summer boating left and I haven’t even launched this season yet! Partially this is the Witcher 2′s fault.

That seems abnormally inexpensive. Good on them.
