I was looking to buy a new XBLA game and these two seem to be the favourites to get, both 1200MP, both 5 star reviewed, both presumably amazing. The only problem is deciding between them! So, I open this to the floor, those of you who have played both or those of you that love one enough to extoll its virtues to me, tell me which one is worth my money more! The XBLA games I already own are Super Meat Boy, Geometry Wars 2, 'Splosion Man, Trials HD and Pac Man CE DX .
Thanks Duders!
Shadow Complex
Game » consists of 5 releases. Released Aug 19, 2009
Reluctant hero Jason Fleming investigates a hidden underground complex to rescue his girlfriend Claire in this Metroid-style action-adventure game.
Shadow Complex or Limbo?
Shadow Complex. I loved Limbo, but I loved Shadow Complex way more. If you like Metroidvania at all, it's sweet, sweet goodness. (Edit: forgot reasons!)
+ Huge map to explore filled with collectibles.
+ Level up system that actually makes you feel like you're getting stronger.
+ Exploration based platforming where the map unlocks by you finding the "tools" to unlock it.
+ You feel like a badass at the end.
To be honest, I didn't care for either. Limbo quickly turns into a bunch of physics puzzles, Shadow Complex doesn't have as much variety in level design or equipment as I wanted out of that style of game. And nuts to Nolan North.
EDIT: You should get Braid, assuming that you don't have it somewhere else.
