Silver Lining: Inversion and the fear of the great beyond
'Silver Lining' is a column from freelancer Taylor Cocke dedicated to highlighting moments of real potential in less than perfect games. This week he examines Saber Interactive's Inversion. The following may contain story spoilers. Inversion's opening sequence is rather affecting. Protagonist Davi...
Inversion review: Gears of Snore
As a kid, there were only two things I truly loved: playing with a motley assembly of action figures, and reading Ender's Game. Inversion, somewhat implausibly, manages to combine Past Me's favorite pastimes. Its topsy-turvy, gravity-switching third-person shooting hearkens back to the portion of E...
Inversion multiplayer trailer defies gravity
Namco Bandai's Inversion has a new trailer that details the game's hourglass, gravity slaughter, and other multiplayer modes. Inversion is set to launch next week in North America, and was recently delayed to July in Europe....
Inversion delayed to July in Europe, still on track in US
The European launch of Inversion has been delayed to sometime in July, reports Eurogamer. The reason for the delay was not disclosed.

Inversion flipping out in North America on June 5, June 8 in Europe
Perhaps we should send out Joystiq-themed calendars to game publishers with clear explanations of when seasons begin and end, and maybe a note with the definition of "early" and "late."

"The launch of Inversion has been moved to early 2012, and more details will follow in ...
Retailers: Inversion delayed until March
Inversion has had an official launch date of February 7, 2012, for over a year now, but retail listings are shifting to note otherwise. Both GameFly, which lists launch info based on publisher data, and GameStop now present a release date of March 27. Originally announced back in 2009, Inversion wa...
Inversion gameplay trailer flips dudes all over the place
Inception called and it totally wants its BWAAAAAHM back....
Inversion multiplayer preview: Grab a Gravlink and go
Sometimes an otherwise-uninteresting looking game has a few tricks up its sleeve. Just about all of Inversion smacks of mediocrity -- its generic storyline (aliens invade Earth!), derivative gameplay (maybe you've played Gears of War?) and unoriginal multiplayer modes (two different kinds of deat...
Inversion's gravity gameplay explained in trailer
Inversion's grav link allows you to inflict low gravity around enemies, lifting those meatsacks for easy targeting, and then high gravity to smush 'em with environmental objects. But the real stomach drop happens with the perspective-altering "vector shifts." Wait at least 30 minutes after eati...
