For those if us who mainly use their Xbox360 for streaming Netflix movies nowadays, some might not realize that they can indeed still be used to play games. In addition, assuming you've got it connected to Xbox Live (and since you're streaming Netflix I'm going to call that a safe assumption), you can download them straight to your console without leaving the ass groove on your couch. These range in fair from old classics to new releases, and even include some small-budget indy games that occasionally put the big boys to shame. Those who were lucky or in-the-know enough to have experienced BRAID know what potential these games can have. Called "ingenious", "startlingly creative", and "a risky experiment climaxing in glorious success", it is by far the best game I've ever downloaded and a must-own for anyone with a 360.Last night, I found its successor.
It's called LIMBO. I downloaded the free demo and was instantly haunted by the atmosphere, on top of being almost immediately stymied by its puzzles. I decided that if it was still as strikingly vivid in my mind Wednesday morning, I would have to tell others. It is, and I think I'm going to pay for the full game tonight because I really just want to see it again. The fact that it looks like it's going to be spooky as hell and really hard, not to mention top quality, is just gravy. I'll be back to let you know if it holds up. I think I may still be talking to myself, but check out the trailer and leave me a comment with what you think.
