Doesn't feel so.....The year with Castle Crashers felt great and a game like that we didn't get this year (yet)...

I rate Bastion well above CC, but, we have Behemoth's new game this fall, Battleblock theatre!

I think that one year we got Shadow Complex, Castle Crashers, Braid and Splosion Man one after another (I could be wrong). THAT was a great time.

You forgot Full House Poker, which I hear is really good.

For me Last Year way really damn good. I have only bought ilomilo and Beyond Good or Evil, but I'll pick up more later around Christmas when MS starts promoting cheaper deal. I really want to get Bastion, ITSP, Toy Soldier: Cold War, Ms Splosion Man, Trenched, and Crimsion Alliance.

For me, I have bough far more this year on Xbox live than any other year... maybe even more than the other 4/5 years I have had an Xbox 360 so i'd say it is the best year.

Yeah this year seems to have been the best for XBLA!

Yeah, I just don't feel like that this year is the best,  not like it are all bad games just feel like we didn't had one amazing game (yet)... 

Castle Crashers and Braid were 2008. Shadow Complex, 'Splosion Man were 2009.

Each year has a great lineup. I don't think there has been a standout year with better titles than the other, as they've all be fantastic.

Last year was best, no doubt about it....
but the line up this year has been decent, not many bad games...
