Limbo

Limbo is a game available over xbox live arcade. Well recorded in the press its received lots of critical acclaim and for good reason. 

A 2D side scroller, Limbo fuses together the fantasy, childish storyline with dark, gruesome gameplay to create and charming puzzle game that continues to impress. 

I really like the way in which Limbo creates such a dark atmosphere that is constantly thrilling and horrific. This is definiatly something I want to try and include in my game. I also really like he artistic style of Limbo and the way it re-vamps the 2D side scroller. I really want to use the tonal range like that of Limbo in my own game.

that games company

ThatGamesCompany is one of my favourite games producing games at the moment. All of their games have been released on the PS3 for download. Their most famous game is arguabley ‘flower’ and their most recent release would be ‘the journey’. I really like the way in which thatgamescompany goes about the design process. I really like the protagonist in ‘the journey’ and think its a really good concept for a game.
