Limbo is beautiful

Limbo, the indie game I’ve been waiting patiently for, has been released for xbox 36o and finally I’ve spent a bit of time playing it.

If anything it’s even more gorgeous than I expected, although perhaps a little more gruesome. I was going to write a review, but if you click through to the trailer you will get a much better idea of it than anything I could write here.

Ultimately it is a platform/puzzler, and I am having to remind myself that as something of a nerd I am supposed to enjoy challenging puzzles– rather than just getting frustrated within seconds and wanting to throw the controller through a window. I think my attention span needs some serious stretching.

Limbo’s stylish visuals are also a great reminder of what I should be working on…
