(My 360 RROD'd months ago, but I still can't be arsed to get it fixed, plus I prefer PC gaming for obvious reasons, anyway.) But now it's out for PC on Steam. Here´s the IGN review. If you liked Limbo and Shadow Complex you will probably like this. It has the look of the former and the gameplay of the latter. I´ve been playing this on my day off and I love it. Great atmosphere, great animations and great graphics (UT engine). Combat with the zombies is discouraged. You´re better off outsmarting them to avoid precious hitpoints getting nibbled away. Gameplay wise it´s pretty much simple platforming progression with some mild puzzling. Not extremely challenging, but because everything about it clicks, and it's so engrossing for a 2d game, it's very satisfying. Didn´t like the lack of antialiasing, but using injectSMAA works quite well. (Sweet proggy btw. I use it all the time on games that don´t have native AA. Antialiasing without the performance hit, can I get an amen!)

For some reason it's set to 30 by default. There was some chugginess, nothing terrible but noticable, and apart from when it loads new sections, it now runs buttasmooth.
