Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Drops With A Splash

Any chance you just whipped out your phone for some impromptu reading material because you’re gonna be sitting in one place for a bit? Of course you did. Well, we’ve got some news that’s going to make you stand up in excrement excitement and then immediately question the wisdom of that decision!

Yes, it is November 4th 2014, and Binding of Isaac: Rebirth has plopped onto virtual shelves as of today in an incredibly satisfying and relaxing manner. We’re talking over 160 new unlockables, new bosses, new soundtrack, and an entirely new engine that runs at 60 farts-per-second, which probably qualifies as a shart at that point. For all I know that’s a skill you can get. And if it’s not, it should be.

A mere remake, you say? I shat hear another word! This is a fully remodeled and revamped Isaac. Not only does it include all of the content from Binding of Isaac and its Wrath of the Lamb expansion, it’s got SO MUCH NEW STUFF: new levels, new endings, new characters, and new secrets!

And hold your turds, because with Rebirth comes LOCAL CO-OP PLAY. Yup, better start lining up at those urinals side-by-side, because with over 100 co-op characters to choose from, you’re gonna need to get cozy.
