So it's the first of the 'Summer of Arcade' (SOA) games "Brothers - a Tale of Two Sons."

I tried the demo today, notice these things:

It just drops you in - and you have to figure stuff out.  Reminds me of Limbo, but not so much dying and brutal murder.

It's really pretty - I felt like I was watching/playing a Myazaki movie (Which is a huge complement.) It's from Swedish film director, Josef Fares Some of his movies include:  'Balls', 'I Leo', 'Zozo' and more.  You are in a charming little picturesque world - looks great on my big TV.

It a single player co-op.  Interesting way to play.  I wish you could spread it across two controllers for my nephews.  As a non violet game I think many parents would approve.

It's an adventure - you probably don't kill things (unless you do like me and drop a poor sheep off a big waterfall - sorry sheep!)  So it would be good for little ones - or for people wanting to be mello (like some of the Lego games.)

Wish I had realized the should buttons control the camera.  (Helpful tip!)

Here it the game if you are interested:  http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Brothers/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802584112a5

It's out now on the Xbox 360, 9-3 for the PS3, and 8-28 for the PC.

What do you think of the game?  Did you get it?  Is it worth it?



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

If you are interested in the game at all definitely get it. The best way i can explain it is it has similarities to ICO but in a more light hearted and fantasized world.

Hmmm
