Free things are great, right? I mean, they're free! Except a lot of free things are free because you wouldn't pay money for them. Like all those papers they give out on the stairs while you're trying to get the tube in London. And at least half of all the free games on the internet.

Gameplay: riding along in a chopper using a minigun to shoot at giant worms, hybrid human soldiers and an octopus monster on a bridge, and then running around in a squad with a tough-talking black guy and a cynical Middle-Eastern woman who tuts when the boys kick down doors.

To look into the world of Odin Sphere is to peer into an alternate present, a place where towering, razor-sharp 2D sprites are our stock videogame playthings. In this reality there is no place for the awkward, inexact realism of 3D objects no matter how well lit or posed they might be. Odin Sphere is instead the latest in a lineage of increasingly resplendent 2D masterpieces that never were - ripe fruit from a branch of the creative tree our world's developers absent-mindedly lopped off as soon as they discovered Mario 64's beguiling polygons.

Which is a lot of love.
