I've replayed this game 10 times on the 360 its such a work of art. i would put it up there with portal and portal 2. the sequel is also just as amazing, although difficult.
Amazingly beautiful game. It's Short, Sweet, and rather linear so you won't get lost too often. The visuals and music are IMMACULATE.

They chose simplicity rather than depth, which makes the game easy to understand, but makes it...
