Now got email for a copy of limbo. Not bad game but had it on 360.

Me too got my message for free Limbo. Already got it on 360 but it's a good game and I'm looking forward to maxxing it again. Also, it'll be a good excuse to go for the perfect run without dying which gets you an extra point for your leaderboard score. Never got round to trying it before. Always died one time.

If you haven't done a perfect run how have you maxed it. That was one of the chivo's.

But you get an extra point on your score if you do it without dying

They essays about limbo seems to come to the bone direct. If you didn't get one let me know as FBG and I both got the game so could send you the code to see if it will work for you as he has redeemed his but I haven't redeemed mine

Ok Minks, that would be good, as i never actually played it on the 360.

Dropped it in pm. Hope it works bud

exactly the same except with the added bonus of having to add the engage.xbox site to trusted senders as M$'s own spam filter blocks that address

Cuntery and fuckery

The Bone is officially dead to me

Just wondering Tricky34. Did the code work from minkey_monkey. If it did cause I am going to give my free copy of Limbo too. Never played it and never will. To me the game looks boring and I am not a big fan of 2D platform.

Got it thanks Minkey, and 2nd time lucky it worked fine.

Stee01 thanks for asking mate, but i'm now sorted.

That's cool Tricky34. Glad to hear it works. I wasn't too sure if the code was like attached to my username and only me allow to use it.
Well anybody want a free copy of Limbo? Preferably to someone who hasn't played the game or someone moaning like crazy cause they got nothing from Xbox apart from the gamer pic and background. Like I say it not my type of game.
