Limbo: the best XBLA game to date?

[Generator]

I think the game looks incredibly cool, but unfortunately, do not own a 360 so won't be playing it. I would easily pay $15 for it if I was given the opportunity though, as I really like the atmosphere of it.

EDIT: Journey looks oddly captivating. Guess it's not so bad to be a PS3 owner instead of a 360 owner.

Best XBLA game to date? Well since as of this date Limbo isn't out, i'd have to say that honor goes to Shadow Complex. It might not be art, but it's fun as hell, intuitive and a smart usage of the arcade to produce a game that takes advantage of current technology and yet still emulates old school gaming. Shadow Complex had me hooked, but i am looking forward to Limbo.

Shadow Complex was excellent, but Braid edged it for me with it's crazy puzzles and ending.

Well I just finished playing it and I definitely don't think it's worth 15 dollars. It is very cool and definitely worth a play, but probably more like $10 worth at best.

I also felt that lost something when it left the organic world and went to more of a kind of a machine world. The organic world was much creepier and set the mood so much better than the kind of machine like puzzles. I think they should have stuck with the organic levels.

I would say it's definitely my favorite arcade game yet, second for me is castle crashers. Have to agree with meganmeave about the environments, but I think some of the machine puzzles were pretty good. I love those creepy maggots...

I think that while being the most original in terms of art style and originality, it isn't the "best". Define best to me, it really is an opinion. Some might say Castle Crashers, Braid or a number of other titles, while others might simply say I MAED A GAME WITH ZOMBIES IN IT!! is the best.
