Well I know which game I'm really looking forward to. Dodonpachi Daioujou from Cave.

http://www.famitsu.com/game/coming/1213991_1407.html

I loved the original Dodonpachi and Daioujou is an excellent sequel that was on the PS2. Not sure about the release date as it only says "2008"...

There is also another Cave shooter game coming, too. It's called Ketsui, but I've never tried that one before.

Some good schmup gaming coming though Still waiting for Ikaruga to be released as well

XBLA is my favorite thing about this generation (followed by Rock Band and CoD4).



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

this may seem cruel, but I feel special knowing some people "can't" buy XBLA games. You know, people that don't have internet.

Just an FYI for those interested:

Penny Arcade Adventures is breaking the price barrier on Arcade titles. It's debuting on Arcade at the same price it is on PC - $20.00 USD, or 1600 MSP. IMO, that's incredibly stupid, but they decided that.
