There’s something to be said for a game that has almost no story, very little in the way of HD graphics, and rudimentary gameplay that harks back to the days of Mario on the NES. Everyone knows it as Limbo. Here on IVG, we call it the Best Download-Only Game. It’s one of those titles that’s so easy to fall in love with for the sheer simplicity of it all, wrapped in a dark, almost horror-like outer shell that changes your perception of what a platformer is and what it could be. That’s not say that it was the only standout download-only in 2010; we also had DeathSpank, Super Meat Boy and Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (which came in second with 1.43% less votes). But math doesn’t feature in the maniacal world of Limbo. Just you, running through the darkness trying to find someone.
