    Whatever, I took Braid out of the title since it has little to nothing to do with this game. I was unaware that Braid was actually hated by anybody, but you know, I have been wrong once before.

    I didn't hate it, but I don't understand all the praise it gets either.

    Can't wait to download this, plunge the room into darkness, remove as many sources of noise as possible and just play.

    I agree, let's get back to talking about how awesome Limbo is going to be.

    So awesome.

    I should have put a "respectively" in there

    Braid is fun but the story is stupid and super-pretentious, and while a lot of the puzzles are brilliant, some of them rely too much on pixel-perfect jumps in a game with somewhat-shoddy controls.

    Flower is shit. Artsy shit. If you like that game, you like artsy shit.

    There's no way to say it (that I can think of) without sounding like a douche, but Flower isn't a game. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it's great to just take in the scenery and chill out with. It probably helps my opinion of it that I got it for free though.

    I totally bought into the flower hype, and had an enjoyable time with it the first time through. After thinking about it, I realized there's nothing to it and that it is not a good game at all, but is a decent piece of entertainment software, I guess.

    Holy shit I just won this game for following major nelson on twitter!

    I wish it was dark out now, but I've played maybe 10 minutes and jumped out of my seat twice. I love it.

    It's the 21st in Australia now. But I'm guessing we'll have to wait until it's the 21st in the US.

    Ok so mini review. I made myself stop.

    1 - Scariest game Ive played in forever. Like, Dead Space scary. Play it with headphones on. Im waiting for it to get dark before I continue. The atmosphere really, really gets to you. The noises, the buzzing, the weirder things get the deeper you go...

    2 - Pleasantly suprised about Avatar Awards!

    3 - After I quit, I wanted more so I went back and saw "Replay Chapter". With no discernible way to figure out what a "chapter" was, I looked to check my progress and saw I was about 1/3 of the way through. Maybe even a little more. I played for about an hour. The puzzles are getting more and more time consuming, however, so I could see it taking 4 hours to complete. It's totally worth it though.

    4 - For me, replay value is going to be very, very high. There's one achivement I saw, "Beat the entire game in one sitting, dying less than 5 times." that will be FUN AS HELL to go for. Ive already died about a hundred times. Very, VERY rarely has it been from cheap "You didnt jump just right!" deaths. Every time it was a learning process. It is going to be an absolute blast just playing through, trying to remember the puzzles to get this achievement. For me, it's like the 'Splosion Man hardcore achievement, which I loved - only HARDER because you don't save at all (its only autosaves) so if you die, theres no reloading and cheating.

    I'll answer any other questions if people have any!

    A 2-d game causes SEAT JUMPING?! Like the original Ecco the Dolphin?!

    Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

    Ecco the Dolphin is not for children. That game will fuck you up. I have no idea how I beat the Dreamcast one.

    This is supposed to be for kids.

    You have an odd definition of "fun as hell" and must have a lot of time on your hands.

    It seems like the Demon's Souls logic applied to a platformer

    Fucking A

    Just added the points

    Now just trying to kill time

    Downloading Deadliest Warrior demo to see just how awful it is

    And if it's awful as I'm expecting, then when Limbo releases it'll be like moving from a feces sandwich to a sirloin steak

    I actually tried the Deadliest Warrior demo immediately AFTER deciding to stop playing Limbo for the night. It worked in reverse.

    I just felt very tense and uneasy and needed to totally shut my brain off and calm down.

    I'm working through the seasons of Buffy again at the moment, which should do the job nicely afterward

    I haven't stayed up for an XBLA release since...Shadow Complex?

    Wait, Perfect Dark, never mind. But I didn't like Perfect Dark so I'll just say Shadow Complex.

    EDIT: Well, that was awful. Deadliest Warrior I mean
