January 14, 2010 - 2K Play announced today that The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom will be available on February 17, 2010 exclusively on Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360 videogame and entertainment system from Microsoft for 800 Microsoft Points. Set in a macabre and comical silent film era backdrop, The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom tells the story of the buttwitt villain P.B. Winterbottom, and his ravenous quest to devour every flakey crust of delicious pie he can swipe. Players take on the game's movie-level "shorts" in the most ingenious way possible to attain the highest score while stacking, smacking, and riding through time.

The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom comes fresh from the imaginative ovens of video game "bakers" The Odd Gentlemen and commences just after the portly P.B. Winterbottom swipes a mouth-watering bite of the mysterious Chronoberry Pie. That first scrumptious morsel unsuspectingly gives him the ability to break the rules of time and replicate himself at will, by recording himself and harnessing time-bending abilities to cooperate, compete against, and disrupt his past, present and future selves. These amazing abilities, like fresh ingredients mixed with a mental prowess for problem sleuthing, make The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom the tastiest Xbox LIVE Arcade game of 2010.

The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom will be available on Xbox LIVE Arcade for Xbox 360 on February 17, 2010.

This... is a word I do not see in every PR. And I note that this PR is the first of the Google results for buttwitt that isn't actually a compound "Butt Witt".
 
didn't announce 800 or 1200 msp but axel and pixel didn't do great despite being awesome so i expect it'll be 800.
 
Having checked this out at PAX, I have to say this is a very interesting game, a really cool style, and a fantastic-sounding story.

I might just buy it despite my BURNING HATRED of puzzles.

Despite the insane difficulty of some of the puzzles contained within The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom, I can’t do anything other than wholly recommend its purchase, which has a price tag of 800 Microsoft Points (or about $10). Smart games should be championed, not feared, and the mental challenges contained within this game are only more impressive once you solve them. Upon completing them, I felt as if I had truly conquered something. Of course, I also felt like I could really go for a nice piece of warm pie. Preferably a la mode.

Score -
8.5/10
