Writer's Block: Best new game
[Error: unknown template qotd]
LIMBO, LIMBO, LIMBO
Gorgeous, truly inventive graphics; so intuitive the game needs no instruction manual or tutorial; a near-perfect learning curve; excellent use of the normally stupid achievement mechanic to add difficulty and replay value without being discouraging; and what it does with symbolism - how the developers considered player interpretation and interaction, allowing a player to use their own experiences and knowledge to color the 'story' - look, let's just say that LIMBO is the only game that has left me *bawling*, despite having no cutscenes and no text aside from the XBL description:
Uncertain of his sister's fate, a boy enters Limbo.
I love this game like you wouldn't believe.
And this reminds me, I still have to write that "Why LIMBO is the best game ever" post, huh.
