James Dewitt, Thunderbolt writes: The journey of the Giana Sisters series is a fascinating piece of gaming historyoriginally little more than a rip-off of Super Mario Bros., its similar nature supposedly led to a lawsuit that saw the 1987 platformer pulled from stores. Fast-forward many years later to see the sisters resurrected on the Nintendo DS of all places bearing few similarities to Nintendos biggest mascots, followed by a successful Kickstarter campaign to get another title off the ground. That success has brought Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams from Steam to the XBLA marketplacea game that now marches to the beat of its own drum while capturing timeless qualities that make for a good platformer.
