@Maximus9: You're right, but look at the bigger picture - if they bring full rich games to XBLA, then $15 is a fair price to pay for them. Don't think of XBLA games as their own seperate segment of games - just think of them as *games*. If the game is worth $15, I have no problem paying it. If the game is short and

Here's the thing - when you get over ten US dollars, you step into a new level of expectation. Fifteen bucks can buy you a used full retail game on ebay. After all of the critical acclaim braid has gotten, it would have likely been a day one purchase for me at 800 space bucks. At 1200? I'm a little more likely to

@Odin: I'm trying not to think about it. When I do let myself think about it, the thoughts are usually accompanied by noesbleeds and painful headaches.

@incredibilistic: Whoa there yourself. Blogging, while different from traditional print publications, is still a valid form of journalism.

I actually purchased a yearly subscription to Qore in June. I thought "hey, free calling all cars, and the SOCOM beta - sucks they're limiting the beta, but what the hell, I'm in."

@killer_meatballs: I hate to be the one to tell you this, but someone's gotta.... I'm pretty sure that game was cancelled.

@Buttah: I agree - it is most likely something from Team ICO, and it will most likely be pretty bitchin. However, until I know that for sure, the sarcasm will continue to flow!!

Laundromat: Spin Cycle Mayhem

Skinny Prince

Sim Bee Hive

They'll announce a game called "Major Exclusive"

5 words....

Dirge of Cerberus 2: Vincent's Revenge

Scrubs: The Fighting Game

Seinfeld: The Game About Nothing

Alright.... I'll slow down w/ the sarcastic guesses and make a point - it seems to me that this is going to turn out to be an overhype. It might very well be a good game, however, the build up they're giving it will surely leave everyone flat on Aug 3rd, because it won't be as good as what's inside your imagination

Clam Digger!!

wait wait - I think I've got it this time...
