"Limbo is a puzzle-platform game developed by independent Danish Playdead Studios, its premiere title, and was released on July 21, 2010 on Xbox Live Arcade. The game is a 2D sidescroller, incorporating a physics system that governs environmental objects and the player character, challenging the player to guide an unnamed boy through dangerous environments and avoiding numerous traps that lie in shadow. The game is presented primarily in monochromatic black-and-white tones utilizing lighting effects and minimal sounds outside of ambient effects to create an eerie atmosphere similar to the horror genre."

I just bought this game, and it is incredible! It's a fantastic game for 15 bucks. I'm about an hour in and it really is a lot of fun. I highly recommend it to anyone out there who owns an Xbox with an internet connection.
 
The trial was fun. I like how they only made 3 control options yet the puzzles can be very interesting. My only complaint really is that sometimes it's hard to see if it's water or there's a trap on the ground.
 
I'm considering it. I've got Battlefield 1943, Splosion Man, and Castle Crashers for Arcade games. I might add this to my collection.

I've got all of those games and they are great.
 
Bought and completed Limbo. Great game from start to finish, very challenging puzzles and sometimes the odd 'collectible' I guess you could call it.
 
Loved Limbo, it really was a good game, the only thing I dislike about it that it wasnt long enough, 15 bucks is quite a bit for a game that last about 2-4 hours. But anyone itching for a 2D game with a freaky theme like I did then it wont feel like a waste
 
DAM! Thought it was the game where you need to pass under a bar without falling. Im good at that one! Im really flexible!
