PlayDead's Limbo Announced For XBLA

As a judge for the 2010 Independent Games Festival, I've spent the past several months playing through dozens of games that represent the best of what indie has to offer. While I've been generally impressed across the board, several still stick out as my favorites, and Limbo has been an early and clear forerunner.

That's what makes the news out of Copenhagen this morning even better. Developer PlayDead has announced that Limbo will come exclusively to Xbox Live Arcade sometime this summer. The announcement also divulged a single new detail - the young boy that takes the helm of Limbo has entered the hostile woods to find his missing sister.

If you happened to miss our Indie Week preview of Limbo, you can catch up on it here.

Any of you excited to give Limbo a go?
