Binding of Isaac to expand with 'Wrath of the Lamb' photo

The Binding of Isaac is a deceptively long game if it's full completion you're after. I'm at 25 hours and I know that's nothing. Edmund McMillen recently started working on a new expansion, "Wrath of the Lamb," that will add more of everything (and extras) while retaining the game's structure.

McMillen has smartly said this three-dollar expansion will be done when it's done, though he suspects we won't get to play "for months." Truth be told, many of us won't need anything else to go on besides knowing this is an extension of the same fantastic game.

One of the best games of 2011 for sure - SUPER value. It's amazing how this game tops most $60 releases in both content and quality at $5.

@Magnalon -- Totally agree with you there!

I just recently got into this game (~4 hours played) and I'm absolutely addicted. I find myself saying "okay, just one run before bed" basically every night. Love all of the imagery in the game!

The fact that these guys price so well for the content they put out almost assures me as a longtime if not permanent fan.

It is so hard to comprehend just what this game is. All this love makes me think that I need to find out.

Crazy good value game. Just checked I'm at 34 hours. Just beat Sheol with Maggy. How the heck can I complete each section without taking damage!?
Best part of the games is the discussions of the deeper meanings and story of the game, it's so damn good.

I've ploughed 20 hours into this game and still not beaten it yet. I got the Christmas achievement thought..... 5 days after the Steam sale was finished!!!!

I'm truly obsessed. I've beaten it about 5 or 6 times and I'm still unlocking new items and characters. Worth every penny and then some.

This game feels like the best Zelda game ever cause I'm not a huge Zelda fan but I love how fucked this world is.

This is in my top 3 games of 2011. I've played it for 70 hours, got the 100% completion achievement, and I still want more! I'd pay 50 bucks for the expansion, 3 dollars is a fucking steal.

I am so hype. BoI is my most played Steam game, only because this shittastic computer cant handle much.

Love this game, only at 12 hours, and I've beaten it twice. It is one of those that you have to say "Only one more..."

31 hours into this game, and I still feel like it has so much more to offer me, best $5 I've spent all year.

This game is incredible. Easily worth 30 hours of gameplay. Plus it was so cheap during the Holidays, I bought it as gifts for family and friends on Steam for $1.24 a pop. That value is insanity.

Hey Guys! Guess what!
The developer is in talks with Nintendo to allow BoI to be ported to the 3DS eshop! He said that if they allow the game, he will add the Wrath of the Lamb to it!

46 hours played, which is more than New Vegas, my second most-played.
Only two more items to obtain, so I'm almost tapped out.

Looking forward to this expansion, as long as it means more bindings and more Isaacs.

7 hours so far. Unfortunately, it's been in slow motion due to my netbook's processor. Fortunately, the game is so fun I don't really care! Plan on grabbing this day one.

This thread makes me happy, seeing how many people are getting a good amount of mileage out of this game!

Now let's see if Team Meat has the balls to make a game bashing Islam or Judaism!

Fix Mac Achievements, Team Meat.
But other than that, yep...this game has been a massive timesink. Bought it on release (with the AMAZING soundtrack) and have loved it to death.
