Great!
It's whimsical, surreal, beautiful, and a little bit creepy. Yep, it must be Oddworld. Now with more action! Read Review
Oddworld just got ... Stranger. In Oddworld Stranger's Wrath, players step into the role of the Stranger, a rough and tumble bounty hunter who tracks down outlaws for moolah. Using a special weapons system that gives a whole new meaning to "live" ammo, players encounter deviant species and hostile challenges along the way. Oddworld Stranger's Wrath combines first and third-person gameplay with familiar Oddworld elements and an all-new engine to deliver a unique gameplay experience.
Make sense of Oddworld.
I'm a big fan of the previous Oddworld games, both for their charming cast of ugly/adorable characters and their puzzle-based gameplay. As such, I was a bit worried when I heard that the newest interest entry in the series would essentially be an FPS.

Since 1994, Oddworld Inhabitants (OI) has been creating games that mix platform, puzzle, and action gameplay set in unique worlds and filled with inimitable characters. The company's upcoming title, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, is different than other OI games in that it focuses on action rather than platforming. Yet it'll seem familiar to those that have joined Abe and Munch on their adventures. The setting is quite distinct, the characters are simultaneously adorable and gross, and you still communicate via the "game speak" button. Though the screenshots might make you think that OI is going all Halo on us, my brief hands-on time with game was an entertaining experience that was unmistakably Oddworld. Read More »
