Short Game Review: Space Giraffe
I downloaded this game for Xbox Live Arcade and decided it was worth my five bucks even if I only play it once. (After all, I bought plenty of experimental comics for more money that I’ll probably never return to outside of academic papers.) It’s quite possibly the most willfully bizarre game ever made (sorry, game, game, game and again game). I think part of the point may be in trying to figure out how the hell to play, so I feel kind of bad for reading the Wikipedia entry and having it explained for me. Still, the audiovisual collage of the thing is so hypnotic—including animal sounds, colorful numbers and lines, trance music, burping noises, and the occasional godlike ox head—that I know I’ll be back for more.
