Voodoo Vince

[mandelbrotjulia]

It's a bargain game for the XBox (usually available new for $15). I love this game! It's about this voodoo doll that has come to life and must rescue his creator. When he uses his powers to hurt himself, all of the enemies around him get destroyed. They come up with some pretty creative voodoo powers, such as running with scissors, being a victim of a 1930's mob hit or getting sliced in half with a chainsaw. It's got a twisted sense of humor throughout. What really impresses me, though, is the artistic style of the game, in both look and sound. The graphics are gorgeous and dark, with level through graveyards, swamps, mansions, carnivals, etc. The music is a kind of jazz-classical-zydeco fusion style that works incredibly well. So yeah, I recommend it if you haven't tried it.
