Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land Noitu Love 2, one of the best indie games released in the past five years, is now out on Steam. At $US4, it’s a steal. [Steam]
This has been around for a while, but it’s worth mentioning here for two reasons: one, it’s awesome, and two, you can now buy the full version for a mere US$10. With its gorgeous artwork, relentless pacing and liberating controls, Noitu Love 2: Devolution is well worth that asking price.
Here’s a fun fact: I got a new PC yesterday. First entirely new one in about seven years. Dual-core 3ghz, 512MB 8800GT, the works. And the first game I played on it? Not Crysis. Not Company of Heroes. It was IGF finalist Noitu Love 2. Well, not even Noitu Love 2, the Noitu Love 2 demo. And I must say, it’s pretty amazing. As a standard side-scroller, it’s good enough, but bringing the mouse into play for certain attacks and moves (using both gestures and the cursor) is really what kicks it up from “good enough” to the aforementioned “pretty amazing”. You should really go buy it. Then buy it again when the must-happen WiiWare version hits. Noitu Love 2 [via Rock, Paper, Shotgun]
