    Yes. See, MS DOES do good every once in a blue.For every 12 FPSs, we get 3 to 4 unique platformers/point & clickers. I can live with that ratio. XBLA might be my favorite thing to come out of this gen. I feel kinda bad for the PS3-only peeps that are hungry for these types of games.

    @guymanbro: Don't feel too badly. We've got echochrome, PixelJunk: Eden, Flower, LocoRoco and Noby Noby Boy to keep us busy. And plenty more on the way :)

    So Fat Princess for the price next year? I'll start voting for it as soon as it is downloadable.

    I love You Have To Burn The Rope, but I personally don't think it shouldn't win for the same reason I was annoyed at Super Columbine RPG being in Slamdance a few years back. Yes, it's got an interesting message -- but there's really not much of a game there.


    If you haven't tried it, I recommend downloading the demo of Brainpipe.

    @Weaselfingers: I agree. Despite how much I totally love it, YHTBTR is not a game in the sense that counts here.

    I REALLY liked The Maw, Coil, and YHTBTR.


    This is a really good line-up of indie games. Should be interesting.

    Burn the rope is rubbish, it's not even a game. Not even a demo. How can you vote for that? Keep the arty farty comments on media and interaction for more serious mediums. Burn the frickin' rope... jeez.

    If you are someone for whom the difference of a Lincoln makes a price point viable, you probably shouldn't be buying games in the first place.

    Optimal Money occurs when supply = demand.


    Lowering the price is probably a better way to achieve optimal money.

    That's a good first step. Now could they announce it for a download service I would use?

    @Lokno: he says on his site that he signed with 2 other services, however they have yet to make the formal announcement.


    Fingers crossed for Steam!
