Developer PlayDead’s visually striking, action platformer, Limbo is making its way to PCs (via Steam) as well as the PlayStation Network. In case you missed out on the game nearly a year ago when it was an Xbox Live exclusive, Limbo is the story of a young boy who goes through a world of pain to rescue his sister. The game was praised for its striking art style, innovative puzzles and subtle depiction of brutal violence. It went to sell over half a million copies over XBLA, an impressive feat for an indie game.

Sure is lonely out here

This bit of news was confirmed by the studios’ CEO, Dino Patti via Twitter but beyond that we get no details nor do we get a release date. Going to the game’s official site just reveals a giant LIMBO logo along with the words “Coming Soon” so that’s 3 seconds of my life I’m never getting back.

Thanks to Cinemabland for the heads up.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
