Limbo Sold 300,000 Copies? Awesome! Part 2 please?!
Do you own an XBox 360? Do you like games? Have you played Limbo? Have you... wait... what?! You haven't at least downloaded the demo? What the hell is wrong with you? You probably think the Wii is a real console too?!
I'm calm now. Yes, kids, you need to play this game so you can see the creepy, black and white imagining of a kid get impaled on a spider leg over and over. Ok, yeah, that sounded more fun in my head. Ok, yeah, and THAT sounded better before typing it. Should I review this? No. I can say this. Limbo is the kind of experience that has kept me playing video games for more than thirty years. It belongs on the list of reasons you buy a 360 over PS3 or Wii.
If you own a 360, please vote with your dollars and join the other 300,000 people that have gladly forked over $15. If you are saying, "I'm not paying $15 on a game recommended by a nutjob who thinks impaling spider legs are fun," then at LEAST try the demo. THEN vote for more innovative, subtle, beautiful, maddening, simple-is-not-simplistic games. Playdead needs the cash to develop part two.
