Around this time, we should have been wearing a stetson and blasting outer space aliens in Prey 2, but the game has had one hell of a rocky development cycle. Bethesda delayed the game a while back, and since then, we’ve heard pretty much about a zero-G’s worth of news. Has Prey been cancelled? Not according to developer Human Head. In fact, it’s taking part in some tropical fun (Citation needed).
Limbo, the beloved indie title of the last year that had you running around being terrified of spiders was released a full year earlier on the Xbox 360 simply because Sony tried to force the indie developer, Playdead, to hand over the IP to Limbo and they refused.
Each time there’s a new Humble Indie Bundle - a collection of Indie games that showcase the best that independent developers have to offer, for the price of whatever the heck you want - it gets better. This latest one though, is decidedly kick-ass.
There’s no denying that Limbo, the incredible greyscale platform game from Danish developers Playdead was as odd as it was inventive, clever, and brilliant. According to Playdead boss Dino Patti, the company’s next game - something they’re obfuscatingly calling “project two” will be “more weird” than Limbo, and I can’t wait.
Originally released in 2010 as an exclusive Xbox Live Arcade title, PC gamers now have the chance to lay their powerful fingers on a little grey gem called Limbo. Also called, stylishly, LIMBO, we are here concerned with the place the Catholic Church thinks doesn’t really exist anymore, where occupants, usually deemed good, had not performed or experienced the necessary attributes to get into Heaven. To be clear, we are not concerned with the sport your back will hate you for.
To be upfront about this new entity occupying my mind, time and attention, I’m quite fond of it. If I had to choose between LIMBO and a date with Megan Fox, I would choose LIMBO; if playing LIMBO meant I could never watch films again, LIMBO would trump without hesitation.
It’s Thursday. Thursday is the worst day of the week, designed by some evil bastard deity to screw you over just when you though it was time to start relaxing for the weekend. Tomorrow, though will be Friday – leaving the horrors of Thursday just a lingering memory.
It’s also former US President Bill Clinton’s birthday today – so to celebrate every single female in the whole world should smoke a cigar. Ok, not really. Smoking’s bad for you, folks. Even birthday-boy Bill didn’t inhale.
Here’s the news we didn’t post because we’re too busy trying to remove semen stains from our blue dresses.

This week Yahtzee reviews both Limbo (Xbox 360) and Death Spank (PS3). Both these XBLA/PSN titles have been getting rave reviews so which one does Yahtzee recommend if you can only afford one?
Well it depends if you are an intelligent well to do person or a pizza chugging slob and for me that really does depend on what time of the month it is.
Xbox 360 fanboys had a bit of a quiet giggle to themselves, in the knowledge that their console of choice currently has the exclusive to possibly one of the most incredible gaming experiences ever released, Limbo.
Some really creative bloke with a PS3 and a copy of LittleBigPlanet decided that he wanted Limbo on the PS3 as well, and using the games tool, did exactly that. Seriously though, this is a really impressive video, that shows a Limbo recreated in LittleBigPlanet.
It's awesome and you should watch it, video after the jump.
If I asked everyone to cheer if they love Thursday, I'm almost sure that even the crickets wouldn't pipe up. That's because Thursday is that annoying thing that gets in the way of Friday, and Fridays are awesome.
Have you played Limbo yet? It's pretty damn incredible, albeit very short, but still... it's one of those games that everyone should play. So like, do that.
