Indie Puzzle-Platformer 'LIMBO' Priced

The award-winning indie puzzle-platformer LIMBO will cost 1,200 Microsoft Points ($15) when it arrives for download on Xbox 360 during this year's 'Summer of Arcade' promotion, developer Playdead has announced.

Playdead notes to "Stay tuned for a release date" so until then, you'll have to make do with reading Chris's impressed preview and watching the E3 2010 trailer.

If you think it looks suspiciously like the trailer released in May, simply with a Xbox Live Arcade logo slapped on the end, you would be correct. It's still lovely, though.

Wow, that actually gave me chills. Games can never be art though, that's for sure.

The mechanics look like a twist on "And Yet It Moves" , in that you have some control on the direction of gravity (in AYIM, the screen rotated so you were always "vertical", here it's you that rotates relative to the screen)

Looks very very awesome. I love what people are doing with 3D for essentially 2D platform games. Even SMG1/2 have these types of levels.

That looks awful, but in a good way. How did they make a platformer terrifying? :(
