Ubisoft recently introduced I Am Alive with this quote from Italian socialist author Ignazio Silone: “An earthquake achieves what the law promises but doesn’t in practice maintain – the equality of all men.”

Despite being downgraded to an XBLA/PSN download after having initially been announced as a full-scale AAA game, I Am Alive has managed to grab our interest again.
