Hey there. I have always been fascinated by PlayDead's Xbox Arcade megahit, LIMBO. When the demo was released, I immediately downloaded it. When the price of 1200 MS was announced, I was extremely hesitant in purchasing the game. Many reviews at the time criticized the "short gameplay" and I really like to get a good bang for my buck. Today, you can get
LIMBO, Trials HD, and Splosion Man for about $20. I managed to score enough free MS points through the Xbox Reward program so I ended up coughing up the 1200 to download the game. I know... I know... Playdead's LIMBO was the talk of the town when it came out and I'm just getting around to it now. Aside from a few screen shots, I made a conscience effort to stay away from ANYTHING that would spoil the game for me. Thank goodness, I did. LIMBO is more than just a game, it is art. If you haven't had a chance to play the game and plan to, step away now. Go kill a few hours and play LIMBO and then come back to discuss. SPOILERS BELOW! Now, after my first playthrough, here are my thoughts on... LIMBO.
