SFX360:
Not having played many XBLA games in the past, I decided to give Stacking a fighting chance to impress me. And I have to say, After playing for just a bit, I am looking forward to sitting down and getting into this game more. It has a very interesting story and has great concept behind its design. If you are bored and have nothing to play, Definitely give this game a shot!

Stacking was released in 2011 by Double Fine and remains one of their oddest and most intriguing titles. It's a puzzle game masking a serious message, but is it worth picking up today? Jump Dash Roll plays with some dolls before giving its opinion in this week's Brutal Backlog review.
Carlos writes "March may not have provided equal delights when compared to that of February’s backward compatible arrivals, especially with great games such as GTA IV, Borderlands 2 and Hitman: Absolution arriving amongst the masses on Xbox One last month, but that doesn’t mean we’re any less content when new additions come to the program.
Today sees a fresh batch of titles join the fray, but with so many to choose from now, are they worth going back to or should they be left on the shelf forever more?"
Yawn. I don't get it. Xbox doesn't seem to want to open the purse strings to bring in new IPs and with the selection of bc games, you can't tell me developers wouldn't want to get more.money on old IPs. I'm sorry to say, but Xbox feels like they care less and less for the gamer's...
In all honesty,I have only played about an hour of Stacking and I am not a fan of DoubleFine. With Stacking it seems like more of the same indulgent, contrived tone combined with the unfulfilling gameplay of Schafer's other titles.
I will put more time into it because, hell, I got it for free as a Playstation Plus subscriber, but Schafer really is the quintessential overrated game dev darling of SOME sites.
I thought it was cool.
Downloaded it for FREE last night... PS+ member!
Awesome!
