MAC, PC- Diablo III
- Review
- The first Diablo game in over a decade is also one of the most insidiously satisfying loot treadmills in almost as long.
PS3N, PS3, X360, PC- Prototype 2
- Review
- Prototype 2 gives you some interesting abilities that can be fun to use, but it doesn't give you enough good opportunities to cut loose with all that power.
PS3, X360, PC- Max Payne 3
- Review
- Rockstar Games modernizes and makes Max Payne its own, creating something grittier and more grounded in reality, if not quite as singular.

A character, or even an entire story line, can be stuck in a limbo, meaning that if nothing is done to progress the action or the story until a certain criteria is met, the action or story will repeat itself forever.

Super Mario 64
If approaching the corridor at the first Bowser level without enough stars, Mario will continue to run down the corridor forever, only to realise that when he turns around, he's only mere steps away from the door he entered. Limbo
Warning: There may be spoilers! The ending to Limbo is quite abrupt and is open to much interpretation. After the final puzzle, the boy is violently thrown out in the forest once again, with many similarities to the opening scene of Limbo.
After travelling for a moment, the player comes across a young girl. When the young girl sees the boy, she stands up. The game then abruptly ends and the credits begin to roll. When the credits end, the two children are shown again in the forest area but this time, they are lying on the ground with flies surrounding their corpses.
The ending of the game has a number of interpretations that can be drawn from the proceedings. Since the game is named Limbo, it is believed by some that the boy completes his journey by returning to the place where he once started; therefore playing through the game again shows how his world is just a never-ending cycle. Some believe that the two children have already died and that meeting each other in the end seals their fate and they continue to the afterlife. A number of theories exist on the matter.
