The Binding of Isaac

If you don't know what this is allow me to tell you with the premise of the story.

 

 

 

[Spoiler=Intro]Isaac, a child, and his mother live in a small house on a hill, both happily keeping to themselves, with Isaac drawing pictures and playing with his toys, and his mother watching Christian broadcasts on television. Isaac's mother then hears "a voice from above", stating her son is corrupted with sin, and needs to be saved. It asks her to remove all that was evil from Isaac, in an attempt to save him. His mother obliges, taking away his toys, pictures, game console and even his clothes.

 

The voice once again speaks to Isaac's mother, stating he must be cut off from all that is evil in the world. Once again, his mother obliges, and locks Isaac inside his room. Once more, the voice speaks to Isaac's mother. It states she has done well, but it still questions her devotion, and requests she sacrifice her son. She obliges, grabbing a butcher's knife from the kitchen and walking to Isaac's room. Isaac, watching through a sizable crack in his door, starts to panic. He finds a trapdoor hidden under his rug and jumps in, just before his mother opens his bedroom door. Isaac then puts the paper he was drawing onto his wall, which becomes the title screen.[/spoiler]

 

 

 

The game is a side scrolling rogue like were if you die, you have to start all over again. You play as Isaac at the beginning and through various means can unlock new characters. All of which are personas of Isaac himself. Your goal initially is to make it to mom and defeat her. Though once you do, you'll find there's more you must defeat.

 

 

 

Through your travels you'll fight a fight a variety of enemies, mini bosses and bosses. All most all of which aren't easy to beat. Mind you, expect to die alot early on. Don't worry though, through out your adventures you'll come across Item Rooms & shops which can provide you with special items, bombs, hearts, and keys. All of which can help you.

It's fun, I can see how some can become addicted to it, though I only beat it a few times myself.

I'm fairly impressed with the fact that the whole game was made in flash. In fact there is so much in it that adding anymore breaks it. What that means is, Flash was never meant to be able to do what this great game has done.
