XBLA: 2K Picks Up P.B. Winterbottom For Xbox Live Arcade

pjwinter.jpg

We spoke of 2K Games bringing indie-sounding Axel & Pixel to the Xbox Live Arcade, and now it appears that they're continuing on the same notion by revealing that P.B. Winterbottom is coming to the Xbox Live Arcade in early 2010.

P.B. Winterbottom is a silent movie star and has a love for pie - but he's willing to break through time and space to get more pie.

The game uses mechanics similar to Braid's 'time double' puzzles - various pies can cause Winterbottom to create doubles of himself to open doors or use them as platforms to grab more pie, but has the level structure of N+ or Scribblenauts.

Confusing? Just watch this trailer, or watch the old 1UP Show crew play the game here.

The game was considered for many awards at E3 2008's Indiecade, and will be fleshed out from its original prototype to feature over 80 levels.

I can't wait. 2k always make the Xbox 360 arcade games so memorable, and they shouldn't be that expensive either.
