  • The Misadventures of Mr. P.B. Winterbottom has the looks and the brains to be one of the best XBLA games. You've never seen or heard anything quite like it and the puzzle challenges are wildly inventive. It is extremely difficult, though, and can be e...

  • Abstract:  You can't tell much from the title, but you could probably guess that something called The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom would be a light-hearted romp of some sort. And you'd be correct; indie developer The Odd Gentlemen's debut puzzle game uses s...

  • Abstract:  Winterbottom would be fairly weak as a platformer. Thankfully, jumping from ledge to ledge and falling into bottomless pits is not what Winterbottom is about. Instead, it's a puzzle game that happens to be dressed up with a little jumping between point...

  • Abstract:  There is no easy way to explain a game such as this, so let’s just dive right in, you’re a lovable glutton from the silent film era who through the ability of time bending, enjoys stealing crusted pastries from the mouths of little youths, got it? Good...

  • Wonderfully imaginative premise and puzzles, excellent visual design and stellar original soundtrack
  • No hint/skip system when you're stuck, some will no doubt find it a bit short
  • The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom is a quirky and utterly lovable game but its true value is this: it strengthens the idea that DLC is a viable way for smaller development houses to get their content to market. It also reinforces the idea that it isn...

  • Abstract:  P.B. Winterbottom is a thief. More specifically, he nicks pies - by the score. He loves pies, you see, living for nothing more than the satisfying crumble of pastry that unleashes the delicious warm contents within. Trying to steal a magical moving pie...
