I know Skyrim has everyone's attention atm, but I wasn't sure if anyone had seen this (http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/11/28/beauty-beheld-legend-of-grimrock/).
As a fan of dungeon-crawler games like Etrian Odyssey, it seems really neat. Kinda like a purdified version of the old-school classics. Combat seems a little weird, but if they make it out to be more interesting than just click-to-attack, it'd be nice. Hopefully the puzzles will be challenging, too (I've found a lot of puzzles in recent games to be a little easy -- more there for show and pacing than a real challenge).

Looks like it could be cool, as long as they don't succumb to the "let's make it real time" foolishness.

Yeah, the video makes me wonder exactly how it works. Grid-based real-time would be...weird.
Well, it looks alot like those old Amiga games (Dungeon Master, I think, was the first of the like)....which all too quickly went real-time.
Real time can be fun, mind you, but when you have multiple characters, real time only makes sense if you have multiple brains. The character set up reminds me a bit of Fastcrawl (you should check that one out, it's surprisingly good for a "little" game).
I have watched the trailer and i amuse from it very much and now i started to play this game but i can say that it is a good game.
It looks good, I'm looking forward to it.
