Quotes
Burst was the result of us taking in all the feedback we received from gamers about the original GE and trying to make the first game as complete a package as possible.

With GE2, we're trying to pinpoint what users found fun about the game; we're taking it apart and reassembling it from scratch.

The GE series is about high-speed action and a story that makes you the hero.

The way those two aspects combine is what I think makes the game appealing to users, and to start out, we're going to make both aspects stronger in GE2.
