Didn't know if this should be here or in the LBP thread, but it's pretty damn impressive. I'm downloading the level tonight.

Limbo looks amazing and the atmosphere is incredible. I don't know if that video is showing later levels or what because the level I'm playing on the demo is even creepier. It's a quiet game and it's also graphic in terms of the deaths as noted in the video. I really dig that.

How do you get it early? Aren't download games released to everyone at once (besides reviewers, I guess).

Well, so is Castlevania worth getting if you're never going multi-player with it?

I totally understand that. So, completely ignoring that question above, do you think that the Republicans will make significant gains in Congress during this round of mid-term elections? Yes or No?

Wrong forum.


No. At least not without a long and very hard road ahead of them.

Wait...is that more of a dick move than giving/trading away your review code? I was looking for other players!

Not like this is a breaking story, but I FINALLY played some Geometry Wars 2 yesterday (having never played GW1) and holy cow is it fun!! I'm not sure how some of you guys accomplished the scores that you did but I could see putting a whole lot of wasted hours into that game from this point forward... and completely ignoring my pile of shame.

Geometry Wars 2 is in my Top 3 for the generation, fighting for the top spot with Super Mario Galaxy, I'd guess.

IGN didn't review the Castlevania too favorable, basically reinforcing the notion that it's multi-player only.

And Eurogamer savages it in their 4/10 review.

Big Pass!

What a lazy game - and to charge $15 for such a weak re-hash - they should be ashamed.

After they trashed Hydro Thunder, I don't know how reliable IGN's reviews are anymore. They're too important a review site to be sporting the only negative review of a high profile XBLA game.
That said, I have zero interest in this Castlevania game.
