Beyond Good and Evil

No matter where your loyalty lies today, it's difficult to argue that Nintendo is the best at what they do. Side scrollers, platformers, kart racers, dungeon crawlers, you name it, if Nintendo's made one, it's unmatched. That having been said, I still enjoy many of those games types made by developers other than Nintendo. Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World 1 and 2 are the best that sidscrolling platformers have to offer. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy the Genesis era Sonic the Hedgehogs. Mario Kart 64 is the kart racer that all others strive to be, that includes the Mario Karts that have been released since. That doesn't mean ModNation Racers isn't excellent. Some may argue this next one with me, but I say that there is no on-rails shooter like Star Fox 64. Yet, I still enjoy many other similar titles like Afterburner.

Games as Art: A Look at Playdead's LIMBO

Over the Christmas holiday, Microsoft discounted LIMBO and my lovely wife let me use some of her Microsoft Points to make the purchase. I had watched many videos of the game and heard about how wonderful it was, but no review could have prepared me for just how amazing this game truly is.

NOTE: This post contains a few spoilers. Nothing that will ruin the experience completely, but if you haven't played this magnificent wonder, please stop reading this and go play it.
