“Well since I got a capture card I have been working on collecting footage of me kicking ass in various games over the past couple of weeks. Now that I am out on Summer break I was able to dedicate time to actually finishing my second montage.”

PG Reviews: Limbo
July 25th, 2010
PlayDead’s Limbo is the opening act of the 2010 Xbox 360 Summer of Arcade, and boy is it going to be a tough act to follow. 2008’s Braid showed us that side scrollers can still pull weight on modern consoles, and Limbo does the same. It is creative, challenging, and very well designed. Actually, it’s such a unique experience that it’s very difficult to describe. I’ll try to keep this review short.
Limbo is entirely done in black and white. It’s a bold choice that pays off. The atmosphere is fantastic, and I absolutely could not get enough. The game even plays with shadow and light in some of its puzzles. At one point you navigate a slowly tumbling room when all you can see is the small area illuminated by a swinging light. During a less frantic sequence you follow a faintly glowing butterfly into an otherwise pitch-black cave.
Although there is no text or dialogue in the game, the sound effects and very subtle ambient music set a really fantastic mood.
Beta Opinions
May 23rd, 2010
The Halo: Reach Public Beta is coming to a close. It has been a fantastic two weeks in the world of Halo, and I’ve turned to the members here at the PraetoriaGuard for their opinions of the Beta.
Let’s talk weapons. What is your favorite new gun in the Reach Beta?
Chupa: Plasma Launcher – death cannon – BFG.
Reeses Puffs: I guess I’d have to say… the Needle Rifle? Some days, I just can’t pull off a headshot to save my life. But with this gun, they’re not just unnecessary, it even rewards you with a lovely explosion when you don’t finish your opponent immediately via the skull.
Neanderthal: The pistol. It may not be “new,” but the way it works is perfect – I can see this being extremely powerful when I’ve had enough experience with it.
ChazFox: Definitely the Pro Pipe. There’s nothing more satisfying than taking down a Banshee with an EMP nade. Yes, I’ve done it.
Luftwaffles: Well, there are wide variety on guns that are new, or revamped, in Halo: Reach. IF I had to pick one though, I’d say that the Needle Rifle is one of the coolest guns; filling your enemy full of needles and watching them go “BOOM” is fulfilling, BUT my favourite gun is the DMR.
Crabbo: Plasma Launcher. What is cooler than sending loads of plasma grenades towards your opponent. Can anyone say catch?
