Hahaha! I liked Trine, but unholy hell; It's a bit too demanding for a bloody 2.5d platformer. What the hell is with Ati X800 and G-Force 6800 for minimum graphics card?! Oh well, seems I am the only one who is complaining about this...

loved the obscure Outcast reference, although it did not rely on hardware-acceleration via a 3D graphics card, the amount of technology and what that game did was truly incredible for it's time.
Shame that type of gameplay took so long to duplicate, even now developers prefer shiny graphics to actual gameplay.
<3 awesome game though.

Awesome episode, like the rest of them really.
You can have half dimensions though, just not in the sense used by the people claiming "2.5D" games.
Things with a dimension that do not have a whole number are fractals, which make very pretty pictures like this:
...And I'll now stop being so nerdy and get back to enjoying the well-raised points cleverly disguised as sharp wit.

I know why the theif is wearing bright white!
Let's say you're fighting two people, an armoured warrior with a sword and sheild and a person wearing white pants and a white tunic who otherwise appears unarmed. You have to turn your back on one of them. You're probably not going to turn your back on the armoured warrior with the pointy stick, so you fight him. All of a sudden, you get a backstab in the kidneys because you didn't think that bright white fellow was a rogue/theif at first glance. Looks can be decieving!

Trine was a fun game and it has some replay value, that said I had to go to easy mode for the final level which still annoys me. I just wasn't good enough I guess, but the story is sweet in a simple sort of way.
What the buttfuck, Yahtzee's prominently featured my avatar.
Either he's got a fancy for me, or Google's just not doing its job anymore.
Stepping out of the limelight, "'Splosion Man" sounds like a quaint little idea, but the gimmick of having to explode to accomplish anything in a confined environment sounds tiresome...like electricity in inFamous.
Also, trying to emulate the success of Portal in the "indie" market ain't a crime, but when you so desperately overdo it, it's just pitiable.
Trine I've got more interest in.
The tinkling magical atmosphere and the physics-based gameplay (killing enemies by dropping boxes on them sounds fun) just seem so appealing.
