Anyone on CP tried this XBOX 360 Arcade game? I think it costs about 1200 points and I think it is really worth it. It received pretty high reviews all around.

Creepy as hell though...made me jump quite a few times.

^^Boston Phoenix doesn't seem to like it.
My brother was playing the demo a while back, it looked pretty cool. I kind of forgot about it until your thread, and want to try it now.

Yep, it's brilliant. Quite short and expensive for it's length, but people will pay $70 for a piece of crap game that they only play for 5 hours and hate. No problem paying $15 for a 5 hour game you love, if you ask me.

One of the most unique games I have played since "Braid" Well worth the $15 I spent on it.

I got it the day it came out.

If you just plow through the game, it's pretty short, but if you spend some time on the achievements, you can easily waste 10 hours on the thing. Not bad for $15.

Apparently the game has a backstory. No idea what it is though.
