Only in the twisted recesses of Edmund McMillen's mind could one find an entire game based around a coin-eating, bomb-farting hobo baby. Worst of all? I'm actually really excited about this!
The Legend of Bum-bo is going to be a turn based puzzle RPG with randomly generated elements, and most interestingly, a strong connection to The Binding of Isaac universe.

I've had the chance to review Sorcery! Parts 1 & 2 about two months ago, and I'm incredibly glad I decided to do so because what I found was a faithful adaptation of a choose-your-own-adventure gamebook, complete with the myriad of gruesome, yet hilarious ways to die.
Unfortunately for me, only the first two parts of the quadrilogy were available on PC back then, so I had to endure the grueling torture of a cliffhanger for two overly long months. The eternal wait is soon over, however, as Part 3 of Sorcery! has been set to arrive on April 5th.
