I still think you're exaggerating about the price. If you got three hours out of it, that's the equivalent of paying full price for a twelve hour retail game. That being said, I got more than three hours of it and will play through it again at some point (nevermind find the achievements). Bring on Hydro Thunder.


I don't really count it like something as every hour should be worth roughly $5, that's stupid.  I don't mind paying $15 for a 3-4 hour game but that better be a damn good 3-4 hour game.  Similarly, if I'm paying $60 for an 8 hour single player single playthrough game, that better a pretty good 8 hours.

With Limbo, I just didn't get my moneys worth.

  • The twist is the game title
  • It's incredibly short
  • It's expensive
  • It acts as though we've never seen physics puzzles before.

Plus, that game had a 25 person team!  That' insane for that game!  With that many people working on it's not a wonder that it costs as much as it does, but you have to wonder why it's so short and what all those people were doing.  The game wasn't that complicated and most of the people were programmers!
