ALso, DIgi, here's my mini review I posted in my half year topic for Outland.
OUTLAND
+Very solid and fun platforming/exploration, but it's all taken to a completely different level thanks to the light and dark elements from ikaruga also being implemented.
+Amazing boss fights, best boss fights of 2011 so far for me, and probably top 3-5 this gen.
+Fantastic art style that pulls you into this world along with the music.
+Surprisingly fun combat with your limited arsenal of moves (sliding so fun).
+For all this content and for this well made game, just 10 bucks.
-Starts a little slow, maybe takes a bit too long to introduce the light/dark stuff.
-A story would have been nice.
-While exploring is fun, there could have been more rewards for it. Finding all the hidden items can get you 2x damage, but thats about it. You will also find a lot more coins than you actually need, as theres only a few upgrades to buy with them. More rewards for exploration would have been cool.
the main problem with it imo is definitely the slow start. Koolaid finally bought it, and he told me how he didn't like it tons to start, but it just gets better and better. Once they introduce more polarity elements, it's like a totally different game, and you haven't even experienced the epic boss fights yet, it's worth your money. especially for a mere 10 bucks.
Bastion and Ms Splosion Man are my other top DLable games of the year so far.
Other good ones, Trenched (Mech game + tower defense, comes together great, though maybe not enough content)
Hard Corps: Uprising (contra game with RPG elements, eliminates some of the frustration)
Dishwasher: Vampire Smile (super fast paced action game, can get a little repetitive, but it's really fun)
other than that I'd save some of the points for the rest of summer of arcade
