    So as some of you might know the critically acclaimed dark platformer, LIMBO, Has been ported to the PS3 and the PC. This thread is made for us to discuss this game, if you got it are you liking it so far, and why? It looks pretty darn dark and sinister, but at the same time it looks beautiful! So im going to be downloading the Demo and see if i like it : )

    I love it, well worth the $10, it's dark, creepy and pretty twisted. The puzzles are fun and challenging too. I played the demo first on PS3 and I knew I would buy it as soon as I started playing it. Only problem so far is it apparently only works with a FAILBox controller and I detest anything FAILBox. :eek:

    I got it yesterday off of Steam, and I'm really enjoying it! I've died countless times, it's truly a game of trial and error, but the game world is fantastic! Very dark, but very entertaining.... definitely worth a try.

    EDIT: Playing just fine on the keyboard, not sure what the problem is?

    Also, that video is hilarious ha.... never would have appreciated it without playing the game.... that's great!

    Yea I am truly enjoying this game! It something different and refreshing. Plus this game is all about trial and error and does not frustrate me like super meat boy. I feel like im playing a work of art when playing this game.

    Thinking of getting this, is it pretty good on the PS3? I mean I could get it on the PC but I prefere my PS3 controller over my PC 360 controller.

    Same game regardless of platform, I like the PS3 version, just prefer to play on PC and it is $15 on PSN.

    Simply one of the best games I played for years. Only problem is that it ended only 100 minutes of gameplay later. But now I'm going for the eggs instead :)
