    What? You haven't played Limbo? LIMBO is a puzzle-platform with an unique art stlye and is merciless in it's gameplay.
    It's surprising that the short "Between Beasts" doesn't credit LIMBO as an inspiration.

    So, yes, I'm not entirely pleased with the new Xbox One, particularly in that they are locking all games to your ID and console, much like Xbox Live Arcade games today. One truly amazing thing,...

    The Xbox One: Initial thoughts, not altogether positive

    The new Xbox has been revealed at a big event on Microsoft's campus in Redmond. It will be called the "Xbox One", coming out later this year. Ultimately, it looked cool, but nothing groundbreaking....

    And as for the used games...no wonder EA was so excited to say no more season pass. Why would they need that if they can get royalties
