ANNIKA REVIEWS A GAME.

Woah! Annika reviewing something?!
Well since I couldn't think of anything else to blog, and don't like going too long without a new post.
Speaking of which, does anyone actually read this?
I feel a little bit crazy talking to myself.
ANYWAY ON WITH THE REVIEW.
Today, we'll be reviewing LIMBO. A game you can buy directly on the XBOX 360.
Since these type of games never seem to be very good, my brother who actually found it, was a bit skeptical.
But he then saw the trailer for it, which you can find here :

He thought it looked good, so he decided to try it out.
A day after, I tested it as well.
I seriously love this game.
It's really simple, seeming to adopt the graphics of more oldschool games.
Also it's almost eerily calm, the small amount of background sound adding a creepy ambiance.
Until you die.
This seems like a game of trial and error, so i'm happy that you have an unlimited amount of lives.
Also, you get an achievement if you go through the entirety of the game with five or less deaths.
Yeah..good luck.
So the game play is a bit..unsettling.
Like I said, it's very silent until you die. Which is usually a sudden loud noise that makes you jump.
I haven't finished it yet, but I have read the Wikipedia article, which I won't link because the spoilers are very tempting.
SO ANYWAY. Awesome game. Buy it. Play it. Love it.
And I might do more reviews of miscellaneous items in the future.
Anyone have suggestions?
