Yeah. Its their new "average" score.

Though, this game does look promsing. I don't want to try the trial... because I'm broke and won't be able to buy the full version. :?

Waiting on GS review, I will probably give it a shot, but since SCII is coming out, I don't think I'd be playing anything on consoles for awhile

I have no idea about averages, maybe they give bad games much lower scores than elsewhere to compensate? All I know is, any decently hyped/good looking game will more than likely get a 9 on IGN.

IGN's review scale goes from 9-10, so this doesn't really tell us too much. :P

That's funny how everybody's trying to write it off as a "little xbox live game." Implying some of the best games this gen haven't been downloadable.

Also, you people don't have to wait for reviews at all. You'll be able to download the demo and try it yourself, like you can with every live arcade game.

DL games always have their own Category. Joe Danger got 9.5 at IGN last month, and i dun remember so much fuzz about it despite being a PS3 exclusive.

What a way to start of the Summer of Arcade. After watching Inception, I'm more interested in what "Limbo" is all about even if it doesn't have anything to do with each other. :P

Yep it's a real shame, some of my top games of this gen are "fun lil download" titles. Castle Crashers, Puzzle Quest, Shadow Complex, Pixel Junk shooter, DeathSpank, the list goes on. Some have more content then full retail games, and most cases a lot more soul.

I know, right? XBLA has given me some of the most memorable gaming experiences this generation. Shadow Complex, BF: 1943, Geometry Wars, a ton of awesome remakes, and my personal favorite, Toy Soldiers. The latter-most title is probably one of he best games I've played all decade.

Daemon said that it's one of the best games this year, but it's too short and also it's rated as a downloadable game, the standards are less. 9.0 seemed too low score for this description.

Then he finnishes with "This is one of my favorite games ever."
