Demian Linn writes: You control Charlie Blackmore, the littlest doll in a world of dolls. Which is actually a big advantage, because as a smaller doll you can “stack” into larger ones, assuming their forms and using their special abilities.
Like the gift of flatulence, for example. Tim Schafer and Project Lead Lee Petty are demoing the game for me, and Schafer's driving -- he's stacked into a large, unkempt man of a doll and unleashes a foul wind near an air vent, which then clears out the exclusive party in the adjacent ballroom, completing one of the game's many Challenges. Petty describes them as like old-school adventure game puzzles, but dolls are the puzzle pieces, and each (replayable) Challenge has three or more solutions.
As Shafer doll-hops and Petty narrates, I lob a few questions.

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?"
Yes, but it's not there yet for me. Bummer. Was looking forward to reliving that one today.
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...
Extremely original idea for a game. Sounds great.
Super excited for this game after the wonderful Costume Quest.
