Since it's release a few weeks ago, Christopher Nolan's Inception seems to be all any self-respecting nerd can talk about. So it's a bit surprising that the movie's promotional web game, Mind Crime, has gotten next to no attention from the gaming press. Especially since the game is actually kind of good.

The game is based around the movie's idea of building maze-like dream worlds to hide your deepest secrets and, alternatively, avoiding murderous sub-conscious projections as you invade that dream world. A simple 2D grid lets you easily build mazes that then sprout into skyscraper-filled 3D cities, which are then traversed the maze from a claustrophobic over-the-shoulder perspective. A simple Facebook connection lets you share your mazes with friends and strangers, or race through countless mazes created by others.

Given the movie's immense popularity, it's a bit surprising that this well-made game has only attracted a few thousand fans on Facebook since its release last year. Still, those diehard fans have come up with some excellent maze designs in that time. See some examples after the break.
