Step aside, Buster Keaton. Move over, Harold Lloyd. Go fuck yourself, Charlie Chaplin. There's a new silent film star in town, and his name is P.B. Winterbottom. Beginning this Wednesday, for the pittance of 800
, you can join him in his zany, pie-filled world as the quirky Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom comes to the Xbox Live Arcade. As we all learned from Sarah's interview with the team responsible for developing Winterbottom at The Odd Gentlemen, the game will be a madcap 2-D platforming adventure, where the more delectable confections you collect, the happier you'll become.

Create your own paradox … for the love of pie. Enter a macabre and comical silent world filled with mischief, time travel and delicious pie in The Misadventures of P. B. Winterbottom. Record yourself and harness your time-bending abilities to cooperate, compete against, and disrupt your past, present, and future selves. Winterbottom’s debut misadventures present a whimsical spin on the notions of time, space, and play. Join Winterbottom as he travels through over 75 “movie” levels, causing mischief and mayhem in pursuit of the mysterious and elusive Chronoberry Pie on his spectacular journey through space-time.
- Dimensions of time: Experience time-bending fun in a silent film world. Stack, smack, and ride your past selves, and defy death by sacrificing past selves so future selves can survive. There are multiple approaches to every situation using Winterbottom's devious time-bending abilities.
- Puzzling paradoxes: Solve paradox puzzles by being in up to 20 places at once, and even play the hero and the villain at the same time.
- Intriguing game environments: Explore the town of Bakersburg, scale a giant clock tower, travel through a burning bakery, delve through underground caverns, and more all in search of delectable pastries.
