Limbo Review

Introduction
Limbo has finally been ported to PC via steam after a year of being on XBLA. The independent 2D "trial and death" game is about a boy looking for his sister, and he must solve puzzles and avoid traps along the way. The game's visuals are very dark and shadowy, giving the feel of old horror movies. This game is artwork... So, is it any good?

Catherine Review

Introduction
Today I review a sexy scary and weird puzzle platformer, Catherine. Catherine is a very hard game to describe, but I will try. In the game, you play as Vincent Brooks, a man trying to juggle his life around Katherine (his girlfriend) and Catherine (a mysterious young beauty). In the day, he tries to talk with Catherine and Katherine and hanging around the Stray Sheep Bar. At night, he gets stuck in a platformerish nightmare and he must get out alive. Yep, I have no idea how to describe this game. There is some moral choices thrown in as well, and there is also some multiplayer. So, is the game any good?

Alice: Madness Returns

Introduction
I never was a fan of the original book... It was too weird for me. The movie was even weirder. I decided to review this anyway, and dive deep back through the rabbit hole into Wonderland. This game is a sequel to the similar game, "American McGee's Alice". Both are action games that follow a bizarre story of an insane Alice as she restores Wonderland back to it's normal state by shooting and stabbing everything in sight, Yeah, that will cure insanity. So, it is an American McGee game. Is it any good?

Terraria Review

Introduction
You may have heard of Terraria. You may have heard a lot of things about it. You may have heard about it being a shameless Minecraft clone. (That is not the truth!) You may have heard of it being one of the most popular games on Steam in the last few weeks. You may have heard of it being an indie game. Well, most of those ideas are true. This game is just as innovative as Minecraft. This game is in 2D, sort of like platformers from the '90s. It blends Minecraft like building and crafting, seamlessly with RPG elements, action adventure and platforming. So, is it as great as I make it sound?
