A Little Love for the Indies: Limbo

Regrettably, we here at Joystick Division don't normally cover many Indie titles. I'd like to say that that's going to change, but considering I have absolutely nothing to base it on, I won't. However, just because we don't always have time to write about them doesn't mean we have no love for them. In fact, when I was looking over the finalists for the upcoming Independent Games Festival, I was so drawn in by a certain title's visuals, that it compelled me to ignore all other gaming news and present you with this post. The title I'm referring to is Limbo, and can be found under the "Excellence in Visual Art", as well as the "Technical Excellence" categories for the upcoming IGF. 

If the screen above effected you as it did me, you'll be happy to know that Playdead -- the developers behind Limbo -- just announced an XBLA exclusive summer release, followed by a multi-platform release at a later date. You can find a few more screen shots after the break, but for a video teaser and concept art, head over to its home page.
