No Steven Merchant!
The voice of the robot eye is Steven Merchant.

This is going to be a contender for game of the year, easily. There are no other puzzel games of this caliber on the horizon!
Just wondering about the UK release date for this? Steam says Tues 19th April but games retailers say Fri 22nd? I might pay the extra on Steam to get it three days earlier, but if UK Steam users don't get it till the Friday anyway, I'd buy it in a shop to save a few quid.
Game of the year goes to EA/Activisions game with the highest marketing budget, silly.
If you know someone else who wants it you can get the two-pack and it will work out to £24 each.
I can't see it cheaper any where else.
This is reason enough for me NOT to buy the game!
Why wouldn't the little eyes have a synthetic sounding voice like GladOS? Why make them sound like that tit from the Barclays adverts? I'm sure he's a nice guy and all, but I don't want to listen to his "comedic" voice for more than... well as little time as possible.
Please let me turn him off...
+1
Just watched a bit of that trailer and I couldn't stand his voice TBH, I turned it off after a minute.
How much of a role does he have in the game?
It just seems to destroy the sense of immersion that the original game had. For a start I want to be left alone to figure things out, not be directed what to do by Steven Merchant.
Pizza hut? Didn't know they sold games.
Surely the cheapest place to get it is a 2-pack on Steam?

The Hut(t) is like some big evil corporation which seems determined to screw up game deliveries. Zavvi is now one of their subsidiaries and I think there's quite a few more.

Didn't know you could buy the PS3 version and link your PSN account to Steam and then download it for the PC for free

Yes, once you have all the potatoes you can preload.
I was watching that the other day and thought how much better he was. I'm going to express my annoyance on the Steam forums.
Oh.
I better not.
