If ever there was a game that truly lived up to its name, it's "Oddworld." The original "Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee," and its sequel, appeared on the Playstation and PC and gave gamers a compellingly bizarre mix of side scrolling, platformer gameplay, and generally action-based puzzles. Using wonderfully rendered characters and locales, the games looked fantastic and told the story of Abe through the use of some of the best cinematic sequences ever to grace a TV screen. The gameplay itself fluidly moved from fascinating to frustrating, starting out simple and working up to incredibly challenging.
