Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Now that the game has a steam release as well as out on the PS3 and 360 I feel like this game needs more attention as it might be my favorite XBLA title to date.

What is Outland?
It's a 2d Metroidvania game from Housemarque the guys behind such titles as Resogun and Stardust. It originally released on the 360 and then the PS3 post PSN outage. It now has finally come to PC/Steam today!
What's the hook?
The twist Housemarque has thrown on the genre is the idea of infusing two colors (red/blue) ala Ikaruga into the platforming and action. You can pass through things like projectiles without getting hurt so long as you color match while you do more damage if you are the opposite color.
What else is there?
Housemarque went with a unique gameplay setting as well not much seen in games today by setting it in what appears to be South American like ruins. Think Peru and the Incas. That coupled with the art style and the color pop which also goes along with the gameplay and you have something that with a unique look all it's own!
Platforms + Pricing
STEAM - $8.49
PSN/XBLA - $9.99
