Deadlight (Video Game Review)

Deadlight is the third, and possibly the most highly anticipated, release in the Summer of Arcade promotion for Xbox 360 in 2012. Funny thing is, while Deadlight might release in the beautiful weather of Summer, the game itself takes place in a dreary, post-apocalyptic version of Seattle in the 80s. The game plays this setting to its advantage offering little to no useful technology to its main character and placing him in a dark and off putting environment that will have you spooked long before you have your first run in with a zombie. This 2D platformer provides many unique game mechanics that could find it becoming the best downloadable title on any platform this year. Deadlight 's storyline follows the tale of protagonist Randall Wayne--a family man who is desperate to reunite with his family he lost in the zombie outbreak. The game chronicles his adventures through the dangerous terrain as he searches for his missing family, and much of the storyline is revealed through ...
