It's like a mix between a horror and a platformer, which is awesome! 
The atmosphere kinda reminds of Silent Hill 2.
It would appear I am the only skeptic here.
To be honest the physics seem alot like Little Big Planet, don't get me wrong LBP was a great game but the lag and lack of gravitational pull really made the game alittle less enjoyable. Then again it sort of added to the atmosphere. But LIMBO looks like it shouldn't lack gravity like that, I would have really been more attracted to the game if it featured a more Mario-esc physics engine.
Then the art style, everyone is ranting about how great it is. Its just black and dark is that really enough to make it unique and worthy of a purchase? Sure it is unique but just because something is unique doesn't make it suddenly amazing. The graphics look outdated and yes that may be part of the art style but seriously my eyes almost hurt watching the trailer.
For a downloadable game this looks alright but if you compare it to other platformers it just doesn't cut it. Theirs nothing new here other then the dark style and to be honest the other platforming elements look like they were stolen from LBP and Mario.
Sorry if I'm alittle harsh but I thought I should add some depth to a thread with nothing but praise, its important to always have a realistic view (With two opposing sides, positives and negatives)!
Thats my two cents

it is a sort of "Dark" "black and white" "horror" Nicky boom (for the ones that know)

This looks really atmospheric, i love the style. I hope it comes sooner to PS3 then Braid.
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
reminds me of a boy and his blob, but black and white. I dunno about this game, I'm a little skeptic.

The graphics didn't look outdated to me...how did they hurt your eyes.....???
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.

- Wasteland - The Mission.
I usually dislike the art style of these surrealistic 2-D games like Braid, but this looks beautiful.
