Looking for a good platformer

[Brendan Stepladder]

Any ideas, minions? I've grown thoroughly bored with the whole FPS genre.

Rayman Origins is awesome.
It's challenging and a fast paced platformer, great fun.

Yeah, Rayman Origins is a truly awesome game, I'd recommend playing it two player though.

Is that so? I've only played it single player.
How does multiplayer even work in a platform?

if you don't mind digging through some dusty boxes:

DrillDozer for the good ol' GBA.

For what platform?

Super Meat Boy. There's a whole lot of levels, it's very punishing and difficult and it's awesome as hell. The controls are bang on as they should be in a platformer. The story is pretty meh, but serviceable and the graphics are good, if nothing spectacular.

I'll also second Rayman: Origins or hell, even the original Rayman, if you have a PS1 or 3. I have to admit I like the original better, but the new one is pretty good as well.

I've heard great things about Limbo, so I'd try that. As others have said, Rayman's a great game series as well.
