Even by Humble Bundle standards, the Humble Bundle V contains some fantastic games. They’re all so great, in fact, that I’d be surprised if you haven’t played pretty much all of them already.
Being chased through a black-and-white forest filled with blowgun-wielding natives, dangling corpses and the gigantic silhouette of a spider sure is creepy. If only the hero of Limbo had remembered to pack a torch.
Call him a sell-out. Call him a suit. Call him too mainstream. It doesn’t change the fact that Mario was jumping and saving imperilled females before it was cool.
Having already charmed countless Xbox Live and PlayStation Network players, Playdead’s starkly beautiful Limbo is now available for $US9.99 on Steam, boasting the only version of the game to run at 60 frames per second. Hopefully that’ll fix the flickering.
Earlier this week developer Playdead confirmed the stunningly stark and stirring Xbox Live Arcade title Limbo was “coming soon” to the PlayStation Network. According to the PlayStation Blog, soon means July 19 in North America, July 20 in Europe. Rejoice!
There’s quite the sale going on over on Xbox Live Arcade at the moment. Six of the very best games around – Limbo, Shadow Complex, Castle Crashers, Trials HD and Monday Night Combat – are going for half price. Normally, they’re 1200 MSP. For today, April 15, they’re only 600 MSP.
