In The Pit

Ok, it's a very rare day when I post a blog specifically devoted to a single game, but with all the new community games which came to the Xbox 360 yesterday, there is some pretty amazing stuff out there. If you're unaware, the community games are games that private people or very small companies without distributors make and put on Xbox Live to be bought by us, the consumers, for cheap on both ends. Quite a few of the games come out as utter crap, like something you would immediately delete of your new cellphone. However, some of the games are outstanding, and even revolutionary. The people make the games, and the people know what we want!

 

So, the game that has stood out the most to me so far is In The Pit. It's shocking that nobody has created a game of its kind before. There's no video or pictures of any type in the game, so I actually play it with the tv turned off. Sounds crazy, right? Well, you play as a monster in a pitch black pit. People wind up in the pit, and you have to eat them, but you can only tell their location by listening to their breathing, and you can't move too fast, or else they'll hear you. The game is completely revolutionary, and so damn entertaining. It's only really worth playing if you have a good pair of headphones, or a great surround sound setup, but if you have that, it is really great.

 

The game is $5, and I don't know how long it is, as I've only had about half an hour to play so far, but I think it was entirely worth it, even if only as a conversation piece. If you've tried it, let me know what you think.
