My brother visited during Christmas and he brought his Xbox with him. Even though I had an Xbox on my wish list, I guess Santa (my wife) had me on the naughty list and I didn't get one. But my brother had a downloadable game on his system called Limbo.
The first thing you will notice is the art design. The characters are all in silouette. It almost has a magical feel to it. Dark magic as it doesn't take long for you to die. For me, it was when I said, "ohhhh! look at the pretty butterflies," and a bear trap decapatated me.
You will die, over and over and over. It is part of the game and it starts you back at a spot before you were killed. There are many deaths and the game hopes that you get to experience them all.
Ultimately, it is a puzzle game as you will have to figure out how to get past certain obstacles. These start out simple enough but the complexity builds.
It is a lot of fun. I didn't play it to completion but my brother has. It only takes about 6hrs of play to do this. I look forward te being better this year so I can get an Xbox next year and play it. It cost 1,200 points ($15) at the Xbox marketplace, or they have a demo version for free in case I haven't completely sold you on the game.
