In Catholic theology, the term limbo refers to the edge of hell, just outside of zipcode 666 — “hell adjacent” as it were. In the gaming world, this bleak monochromatic masterpiece is nothing short of double rainbow OMG!

There are no health meters and no dialog to go along with the no colors. What you get instead is a truly scary, often times violent place to explore… as a young boy. If you found that scene where Frodo is being cocooned by a giant spider a little disturbing, prepare to live the experience.

LIMBO rewards the nimble and quick thinking. There is a lot of dying, brutally, but the game never punishes you. You will be quickly giving it another go, only to realize your timing is still off, and that buzz saws and bear traps and little boys rarely mix well. This may be the best game you play all year.

We got your weekend planned! UGTL and Capcom Fight Club LA!

Seth Killian warns that you should wear something you don’t mind getting “trashed”.

Place: Casitas Studios
3229 W. Casitas
Glendale, CA
Time: Friday, 8PM-12AM

Ono-san is going to be there, along with Japanese SF champion Daigo Umehara! There are even rumors of a rematch with Justin Wong!

We love what the UGTL guys are cooking up. Mix in a little i-am-8-bit and dash of EVO, and you are in for one tasty recipe. Add to the fact that this dish is cooked entirely with the freshest local SoCal ingredients, and it doesn’t get any better for you than this. May we interest you in $1 tacos with your SSFIV? Yes, please, thank you! Here’s a taste of UGTL 5:

UGTL 6 is right around the corner on Saturday, April 24th. It’s new location is the swank Rec Center Studio in Echo Park. Meat Bun will be on hand, and we are personally inviting you to come hang out with us. See you there!

Yep, it’s 3 AM. I had to force myself to put down the controller and power down the PS3.

Believe the reviews. God of War III is really that good, and looks like the screen shot above. Those minotaurs are just yard trash, yet they look completely epic. Wait until you fight a god, and witness killing him through his eyes.

Definitely some more late nights in store for me in the near future.

Die Antwoord is blowing up. First Boing Boing, then Vice Magazine, now The New Yorker?!

If you don’t know about Die Antwoord, your inner zef is in need of some serious refreshing. Waddy Jones (a.k.a Ninja) and Yo-landi Vi$$er (the pixie crack-baby with the space mullet pictured below) can take care of that in a heart beat-boy.

Oh, and they just landed in LA. Enter the Ninja!

We worked with the amazing artist, Jason Chan, to create this design for our friends at Kotaku.

Diving into the deep end of moe anthropomorphism, Kotaku-tan is comprised solely of references familiar to longtime Kotaku readers.

We’re really happy with the way she turned out, thanks in part to a ridiculous 13-screen printing process we used for the shirts. Kotaku-tan is available now in black, asphalt, and natural organic.
