Little Inferno is for two types of dark souls: Pyros and the Casuals. This is an odd thing since pyros most often light casual gamers underpants on fire while the casuals know that pyros not only are not wearing any underpants but also have some other sort of brain issues. I never was that interested in lighting things on fire as a kid, except for the occasional arm hair. Nor am I not so much interested in casual games, other than Peggle and that game where you make your wee wee all excited to the point it starts its own firework display.

So here's Little Inferno, a game where you stare at a fireplace and light things on fire. Sometimes you get some letters from some chick and quite often you need to search the catalog for more random things to light on fire. Gameplay is like touching one of those crystal balls from Spencer Gifts that have those purple, electric charges shining inside. It passes the time for about 2 minutes, then you'll be ready to move onto something else. In my case that something else was porn.

It's a game that belongs displayed in the window of a small shop, something that strikes your interest for a second but wouldn't any sane person wouldn't be caught dead buying it.
