A thoughtful review of Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition, a game championed by Atlus for Xbox Live Arcade, and a game that is all at once garish, gorgeous, beautiful and bizarre.

In April 2009, indie developer Ace Team released a unique and wholly imaginative gaming experience called Zeno Clash to PC gamers worldwide. Despite its lack of polish and limited budget, the game left a long-lasting impression because it delivered one of video gaming's original promises: the ability to transport players to a world completely different than their own.

Flash forward one year later. Atlus, a game developer and publisher respected for their traditional and engrossing RPG's as well as their deep line of quirky and unique IP's, has endorsed Zeno Clash wholeheartedly and released Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition to Xbox Live Arcade users with several bonus features, at a price that demands to be recognized as a steal.
