The Binding of Isaac

Anyone else get this yet? It's FUCKING AWESOME. Similar to Legend of Zelda but when you die you die for good. It would get frustrating but everytime you die the entire game randomizes itself so every playthrough is different and has different weapons and pick ups. By the same team that made Super Meat Boy so you know the art style is twisted and awesome.

Best part? It's only five bucks on Steam! I seriously recommend it. Haven't beaten it yet but I've been close.

May be my pick for indie game of the year.

Sounds intriguing.

I'll definitely check it out. Do you know if it's compatible with XP? Sounds like the perfect game to waste time on the shitty work computer with.

Should be, idk why it wouldn't, the graphics aren't intensive at all. Let me check real quick

edit: It's compatible

Games are supposed to be fun. Having to start over if you die sounds like a pain in the ass.

Although, for killing time it could work.

Playing under the threat of certain doom is actually a LOT of fun.

Diablo 2 is nothing without hardcore mode imo

If you played it you's understand the appeal. The game randomizes the boards every time you die so every death is just a opportunity for new pickups and bosses,
