Legend of Grimrock was a game I recently picked up as part of the recent Humble Bundle. It wasn't a game I was interested at first but after I checked out the Bundle trailer and read a bit about it I was intrigued.
If someone told me you could take the first person styld of Ultima and make a modern game that felt fresh I wouldn't have believed it. That said, Almost Human Studios Legend of Grimrock is fantastic. The game takes the first person styled gameplay and creates something really unique and fresh. It ups the ante by allowing you to turn any direction but it also requires that the enemies do the same and it lends to some really interesting strategy you can employ...

Yeah, this game rules. I got a few hours into it and got distracted. It's on my list of games to go back to.
I've been waiting until I can hit this one hard. I was hoping for this kind of re-imagining when it came out last year. It looks very good with only minor changes to the menu based combat.
The wait was worth it Will, its super fun.
