There are two achievements that don't relate to those hidden objects, and then there are the ones for the objects themselves. The total is 12, as you said. I'll fix that.

I wrote up some feedback, but then I realized you might use this in the TT.

Definitely the Xbox beats PS3 in terms of their indies. Limbo looks amazing, even if it probably is just a mere diversion.

I played the demo for this. It was good, and genuinely creepy when that spider showed up. The decision isn't so hard for me, because I have so many games I haven't played yet, that I can wait for an eventual special deal for this one.

I'd argue that its length is one of its strengths: like Portal, the short running time means Limbo can be consistently brilliant and constantly surprising throughout. It's an easy GotY so far, for me.

Just download the demo. It features quite a lot of content. You probably won't need to buy the full game.

The length really isn't the issue, as tons of shorter games offer plenty of challenge and reason to return. Playing Limbo is like a would-be lover who always kicks you out right after you both get naked. It plays like the prelude to what should be a great rest of the game... I hope they finish it someday. Until then, I've no reason to replay the prelude. Finishing was more frustrating than gratifying.

Really? I thought it built up to a wonderful and satisfying ending.
