Abstract: How far would you go for a loved one? Limbo doesn’t actually ask that question, but I found myself entertaining the idea while dodging Lord of the Flies wannabes and unreasonably angry monster spiders. Believe it or not, I’m not rambling off-topic. In ...
Abstract: Since it began, Xbox Live’s Summer of Arcade has given us some of the most unique platformers of the last few years. 2008 gave us the time-twisting puzzler Braid, and last year we were treated to a vastly different take on what a platformer could be wi...
