I started playing Antichamber last night with a friend. It’s quite possibly the most mind-expanding experience I’ve had since I played Portal for the first time.

Whilst infuriating and difficult at times, the game itself isn’t the challenge presented. The mind of the player is the challenge; your brain must be wired a certain way in order to complete the game.

Absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to finish it.

From its Steam Store page:

Antichamber is a mind-bending psychological exploration game where nothing can be taken for granted. Discover an Escher-like world where hallways wrap around upon each other, spaces reconfigure themselves, and accomplishing the impossible may just be the only way forward.

Several years in the making, Antichamber received over 25 awards and honors throughout its development, in major competitions including the Independent Games Festival, the PAX10, IndieCade and Make Something Unreal.

This quote from Rock, Paper, Shotgun nails it:

“Even as the developer told me what the game was doing to mess with my brain while I was playing it, it still succeeded in messing with my brain.”

This looks brilliant. I’m a sucker for COH.

If you — like me — have been playing the new Need for Speed game online and have been unable to work out if and when you'd unlock the various cars, here's a great guide.

I've been enjoying the game a good amount, although it reminds me of Burnout Paradise a lot. This isn't necessarily a bad thing overall, it was just a little disappointing.

Hopefully we'll be treated to a new Need for Speed: Underground style game before too long. I love being a pretend boy racer.
