Game: Scary Girl

Tim Burton is an auteur in the truest sense of the word. Despite what you think of his films, you can't deny that the man has an unmistakable style for everything he does. If you took a cursory glance at Nathan Jurevicius' Scary Girl comic you'd half expect for Burton's name to be attached to it, but alas, it's not. The colorful, gothic world filled with things that go bump in the night might take some inspiration from the cinematic imagination of the same man who brought us Edward Scissorhands, but it is an independently fascinating world all on its own. After starting life as a browswer-based Flash game, Scary Girl made the leap to consoles earlier this year, and has recently landed on PC in all its platforming strangeness.
