The Binding of Isaac is the latest downloadable title from Edmund McMillen – one of the two men responsible for last year’s brutal platforming death simulator Super Meat Boy – and plays like an interesting combination of the original The Legend of Zelda, Smash TV and some kind of severely messed up fever dream.

One of the biggest names from my childhood has created a game based on a concept from one of the most beloved games of my youth. I am instantly eagerly anticipating this title and will stop at nothing to have it. Unfortunately, From Dust has not been the new breath of life for the genre I was waiting for.
