    Good list!

    Personally, I would have put Bastion on there instead of Monday Night Combat, but it's all personal taste. toast

    Realy loved Fez, but no way would I have been able to 100% without help from guides/videos for some of the harder puzzles. Not actually played many on this list, but kudos for putting Fez at the top :)

    I found Fez to be completely over the top complicated. I can't imagine the nightmare of completing that game without any sort of guide.

    I greatly enjoyed Limbo. I kind of wish the No Point In Dying achievement was for no deaths instead of less than five.

    I got Castle Crashers at launch (long before I cared about achievements) and I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit how many hours I sunk into that game. I completed normal mode with every character (in order to unlock all of the unlockable characters) and took a few all the way through Insane mode, which was quite a slog. I also found a funny glitch. I definitely got my money's worth from this one.

    I recently bought Shadow Complex on sale but haven't played it yet. Soon!

    I'm a bit strict with my ratings, so I just looked at how I've rated my XBLA games- only one 4 star (Portal: Still Alive), several with 3.5, a bunch with 3, and some with less than that.

    There's a load of games that do Castle Crashers better than Castle Crashers.

    I'm also kinda offended that you've picked Fez at number 1 considering how completely broken it is on XBLA. Any game that has a 50% chance of corrupting your save when you quit shouldn't be anywhere near a list like this.

    Yeah Charlie Murder should have been on this list instead of Castle Crashers.

    Granted I haven't played Fez in over 2 years, but I don't remember being that high of a chance of having your save corrupted.

    So many on this list that I don't agree with. I can see why the list is the way it is though.
    My teeth taste funny today. They seem more jagged than normal.
