Demo: Catherine

I - I don't actually know what it was I just played.  Strictly speaking, it was a puzzle game wherein your character scales a tower of blocks to reach the exit, creating paths by pushing and pulling said blocks.

The confusing part was the apologetically Japanese anime cut scenes, wherein your main character Vincent freaks out about his girlfriend hinting at marriage, and then his dream states where he climbs the block towers - dressed only in his undies and some weird sheep horns.  The sheep thing is pretty prevalent, and there's an underlying murder mystery thing that might be related to having woken up next to a perky blond - the titular Catherine.  It's due out in the next couple days, so grab the demo if you want a feel for what the game was like...

Demo: Limbo

This tree thing killed me a couple times.  My roommate laughed.

Got a hold and gave a whirl for the demo of Limbo, monochromatic platform-puzzle game that has received a lot of awards.  Can't say much about it, the demo was pretty short (10 minutes of gameplay).  It looked very artsy, but not in the fun, bubbly way that Braid did.

So - not much to say, other than I'm speculative about giving $15 towards it.  If I was still a Playstation Plus subscriber, the number goes down a couple digits.

But - you know - meh.  That's how I'm feeling...
