"Xbox LIVE Arcade games have been around since the launch of the Xbox 360 back in December 2004. Initially seen as bite-sized mini games or a platform for older releases, XBLA has grown to the point where many of the titles are good enough for retail."
"Friday the 13th is the day you’re most likely to get struck by lightning, run over by an ambulance and stabbed in the face by a bad tempered fella with a hockey mask, so why not do yourself a favor and remain indoors with our top five list of the unluckiest characters in gaming history."
In this week's installment of Top 10 Tuesdays, Matt Beaudette of Gaming Irresponsibly counts down the top Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network games.
2011 has been a banner year for gaming. While we have seen major releases at retail, the download market has been just as strong. Sony today revealed the top selling indie games on PSN for 2011. The top game? You'll have to read to find out!
Playdead announced today that their award winning platformer Limbo has surpassed one million sales worldwide. They also announced that due to this success, the game will soon also be released on Mac.
GameRabies.com's Chris Ham writes:
"Because of their interactive nature, video games are a medium of art that allows for great emotional impact and a very personal experience. That is exactly what Limbo is."
"Limbo is a truly unique experience that blends 2D platforming with great puzzle solving. While you might have some trouble solving the puzzles there are hidden eggs to found throughout the game and most of them you’ll run right past without ever knowing they were there. If you are having trouble finding them, we’ve got video walkthroughs for all the Hidden Eggs so you can easily unlock all the trophies for them."
Limbo was announced back in 2007 and is undoubtedly one of the most interesting independent games of the current generation. Developed by Playdead Games, it is the first ever title of the Danish studio. For those who are tired of repetitive gaming platforming, Limbo's innovation through small changes, like a vision in black and white and vibrant colors, you forget you’re stepping into a world where a little boy is looking for his sister.

"Can video games ever be truly classified as art? This is an on-going debate that often raises heated opinions. Usually the arguments exist on opposite poles, either condemning games as nothing more than entertainment that will never be considered art ( in the case of Roger Ebert*), or screaming from the rooftops that games are the greatest art form of the modern era. The most sensible of folk sit on the fence, declaring that of course games are art, for art is a subjective item that can never..."
"In this episode of the TV and Lust video game podcast, Craig, Chris, Seth and Fran discuss BioShock Infinite, the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow limited edition and new Fable III merchandise. This week’s topic is JRPGs; the team’s experiences with them, outlook, and how they compare to WRPGs. For this week in games, the team has been playing Resistance 2, Limbo, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia and Nostalgia."
"Where titles like Flower, Braid or Shadow of the Colossus would have been the most relatable games to leap to mind when thinking of examples of digital artistry, they have since been superseded, at least in my mind, by Limbo. Not that the game is now the end all beat all of what gamers should expect or use as a textbook example when comparing the medium to things like film, literature and painting, but it does advance the overall paradigm of ‘games as art’ progressively well. By offering game..."

"The Kill Kast is back again and this time they are talking portable gaming. Stephanie, Rebecca and Eric get together to talk about what they’ve been playing which includes Persona 3, Limbo, Borderlands and Hulu Plus on the PS3. As always we chat about some recent news and we go into our topic of the podcast which is portable gaming; what we like about it, what we hate about it, why we play portable games or why we don’t, and what we hope to see in future. More importantly we talk about our u..."
"If video and photography are now very much acceptable forms of art, then its about time that video game was also considered. If this isn’t Art then I don’t know what is. Its use of a simple black and white contrast to built the game world is a bold move. The world they have created between the light and the shadows is reminiscent of a really disturbed Childs nightmare. Imagine if you will Tim Burton was asked to remake Little big planet and you are starting to get the idea."
"Prologue
As the game starts, you will be lying on the ground. Hit the A button to stand up.
Achievement: Run to the left and pick up the glowing egg to earn the achievement "Wrong Way."
Continue to the right and climb to the top of the log. Drop down and jump over the spike pit at the bottom."
"The game itself is a 2D puzzle-platformer with ragdoll physics. What first surprised me from the onset though is the complete simplicity of the controls. There are merely three actions in the entire game: Move, Jump & Action. Yet as soon as you start playing, you immediately realize how perfectly this works. Throughout the entire game, the movements are precisely executed and any death induced is the result of you making the mistake as opposed to a fault of the game. No controller-rage here I..."

Every week, Icrontic's CB Droege brings us his picks for interesting new releases. This week is no different as he highlights Alien Swarm, Happy Birthday Mart, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and the Icrontic spotlight—LIMBO
"LIMBO is worth all 1200 Microsoft Points its being charged for. If you are looking for mind bending puzzles with an amazing presentation this game has it. A puzzle platformer by nature like Braid and Winterbottom it has a big mountain to climb in terms of expected quality. LIMBO shatters the expectation set upon it with the quality of a triple A title and not a lazy copycat."
"Have you ever seen one of those movie advertisements on television that sound like the marketer just raided a thesaurus for the biggest words of praise he or she could find? “Astounding.” “Audacious.” “Astonishing.” You know the type of ad I’m talking about, where one of each kind of word is all that is quoted from the critics in an attempt to make the movie as appealing as possible. While I’m not quoting any other critics here, though, I do apologize in advance if this review sounds like one..."
