Double Fine games are usually bursting at the seams with charm and creativity, and Stacking is no different. Stacking’s gameplay revolves around Russian matryoshka dolls and their wondrous ability to stack into other, larger matryoshka dolls.

People were skeptical of such a tactic, but Ubisoft was given the benefit of the doubt with the outstanding Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood.

Outland takes familiar elements seen in other games, and meshes them into a unique, challenging 2-D platformer that will surely please anybody looking for a great title on the downloadable front.…
