Cheap Thrills: Coma Is Like Limbo on Flash
Cheap Thrills is a column by Chris Gampat reviewing affordable (under $20) or free games for the recession.
Coma is a free flash game where the player must accomplish certain tasks to finally wake themselves out of a coma and escape the dreamworld. Remember that very-creepy-but-addicting-nontheless game called Limbo for XBLA? Well, Coma will remind players much of that game. Granted, there are differences—but the core gameplay is still quite similar and players will encounter similarly creepy events without the simplistic but brutal violence that players experienced in Limbo.
XBLA Summer of Arcade
Microsoft has given dates for this year's Summer of Arcade titles.
The first game to hit will be LIMBO. Having drawn a lot of attention for its sound design and art direction, the highly anticipated yet unexpectedly violent platformer will come out on July 21st. The next game release will be Hydro Thunder Hurricane on July 28th, which is a sequel/remake of the old Dreamcast and PS1 boat racer. After that comes Castlevania: Harmony of Despair on August 4th. This is a new co-op side-scrolling Castlevania for up to 6 players and will allow selection of series characters such as Soma Cruz, Alucard, and Shanoa. From there we'll get Monday Night Combat on August 11th, which is a class based third-person shooter that plays like Defense of the Ancients and has a upgrade system as well.
