The inside of Edmund McMillen’s head must be a very strange place indeed. While I’m not sure I’d want to live there, the Basement collection gives us all a chance to visit. Edmund McMillen is best known for Super Meat Boy and the more recent Binding of Isaac, but he has been actively making games for many years. The Basement collection is essentially a kind of Critereon Collection of his earlier work, with added content, artwork and interviews.
The Basement collection is made up of 9 games, some of which you may have heard of or played before. The list includes the legendary Meat boy flash game, Coil, Triachnid, Aether, Time Fcuk, Spewer, Grey Matter and two secret games you unlock by completing the others. These games vary wildly in style and length; Meat Boy, Time Fcuck and Spewer falling broadly into the platformer category, while others are not nearly so easy to pigeon hole. Aether and Coil in particular venture into the realm of interactive art.
