In the original article it was "100 million" so why have the EG staff deliberately made it harder to read?

I detest Braid, but the other games are good. I want the XBLA Quake that was hinted at a while back.

So much for people saying there is no quality on XBLA.

I hope this mystery South Park game is remake of South Park Rally. Actually I don't. It's like biggest pile of s*** ever.

I'd like to add fifth to this useless post.

I wonder where Death Tank has got to. I was hoping it would be out before the end of the year.

Braid is great but perhaps too much strain on grey cells for some!

Yes been a good year for X360, let us have double helping of the delicious great games for 2009 and less of the leftover or the school dinner!

Less of the food metaphors. They're giving me indigestion.

So where is Darwinia+ ?

Your listing says it was due on XBLA in Autumn 2008.

you should add everyday shooter and dark mist to that list of psn games of 2008. dark mist is a criminally overlooked twin stick shooter.

I meant to check out Dark Mist, but I was hoping it was going to be a bit more oldskool Zelda-y though. Also didn't like the sound of apparently having to start afresh each game, no saves.

Braid and Psychoanuts were the only two games I bought over Live. There are simply too many other games to play.

widge, if you see dark mist as a twin stick shooter like SSDHD and GeoWars2 then you'll overcome that issue quite easily. it's an excellent jap dev game, well worth the money. best use of sixaxis and surprising replay value on hard.

I'm still rooting for Perfect Dark on XBLA. Hopefully with the Banjo games out there won't be any GoldenEye-esque problems with it, and it was a fantastic game which I never completed (final boss was just too hard!)

Same here, I don't think the iffy framerate helped much either.

True Woodnotes but please leave me to my delusions of it turning out to be something I want to play, at least until I see it is actually crap for myself, kind of like what I did with Resi 5 :)

XBLA, downloadble demos, and a beefy 120Gb HDD are some of the reasons why I'm absolutely loving gaming at the moment.

Got my multiple PS2 owning brother onto the 360 Falcon Elite XBL bandwagon a month ago, and he's buzzing after managing to finish Ninja Gaiden 2.

We'll both be getting PS3s... in 2009-10 if they get their act together.

i wonder if peggle has been secretly caned. we've heard nothing on it for almost a year and it was due out ages ago. perhaps theyve had trouble getting the controls working well enough. what else are we to assume? was looking forward to it for ages too.

Why the heck would anyone play a fighting game using the D pad anyway. If you are really into fighting games you would have a arcade stick but maybe thats me. I have an arcade stick for my PS3 and 360 because using either one of the game pads is an effort in frustration.
