# Well, we had to let someone touch it eventually.

May 1st 2009

Go buy the new Play magazine right now! Dave Halverson actually lays his hands upon the controller and tries out Brütal legend! And lives to tell the tale! It was our first hands-on demo of the game ever, and we were nervous. In fact, we tried to get out of it but Dave said, “Hey, it’s not called Watch.”  
This issue came out before my recent UK trip but I didn’t have time to post about it then so you need to hurry! This issue MAY ALREADY BE SOLD OUT in your town. I’m sorry if I scared you with the all-caps, but I need you to get moving.
