Jesus Christ, man. I said that while just hovering over the thread's title. You are like Brain Jesus, only implying that you are somehow telepathic.

Yup, add one to the pile. It's kind of extremely unmatched in XBLA goodness. Really.

Civilization Revolution by a landslide, despite problematic A.I and a near worthless political system It's an extemley good game that I've logged many hours into. I think it takes Civ in an interesting new direction. Stripping out all the shit nobody found fun to do and putting the focus on action was a wise move. Now they just need to tweak and balance the game and well be all set.

I chose SCIV. Had some friends over today and it was a hit.

OK I finally put some time into Eden. Super-fucking-stylish AND a good game? Rad.

Being forced to do the same garden 4 times before being able to grab all 5 goal-things in one go is a bullshit design decision, though. I doubt I'll get all 50 because of it.

So yeah. Good game but LOL @ anyone who picks it over Geometry Wars 2.

I voted for GW2, but I'd like to give an honorable mention to FFIV DS. It's a really spectacular remake.

I'm sad that Joust Williams and I are probably the only people on TNL that enjoyed the underrated awesomeness that is Schizoid.

That being said, Geometry Wars 2 wins. I don't have much free time because of my eventual move to Redmond, and that free time is spent playing as much GW2 as I can. The on-screen friends leaderboards for all modes is a great innovation, and I want to see all future high-score XBLA games copy it.
