If games were people, Mythos would be that one unassuming pedestrian who you only realise is mad when you're close enough to spot his untied shoelaces and furious face, his eyes like two half-eaten Cadbury's Creme Eggs.

In memoriam.
Imagine you're at a funeral. The deceased's worst enemy turns up to pay his respects, falls down the stairs and breaks a leg. As his yelps of agony echo around the room, the corpse shoots bolt upright from the coffin, points a finger and screams "LOL!" before reclining once more. Silence.

Review | Cargo! The Quest for Gravity
Get surreal.
The Earth's axis has stopped turning, and gravity is now something that's less of a given, more of a taken.
