I am looking forward to Vigilante 8. I loved that game.

I was about to say Bionic Commando Rearmed, but it's exclusives only. In that case, I definitely have to go with Castle Crashers. It's simply amazing: stunning art style, fits-the-action soundtrack, great difficulty level, lots of depth for a XBLA game, etc. So far, I've tried the Blue Soldier and the Alien from Alien Hominid (magic shot abuse, hehe). I have to say, The Behemoth really got the feel of the beat 'em up genre and it reminds me of Guardian Heroes a lot! I wonder which genre and game influence they're going to take on for their next game, maybe something à la Gunstar Heroes (Alien Hominid was a bit of Contra and Metal Slug, but we haven't seen a world map one yet)?

Other honorable mentions: Ikaruga, Bomberman Live, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade Edition, Alien Hominid HD and Galaga Legions. I've only listed the games I've bought so far! ^^

My top 5!

1. Castle Crashers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. Geometry Wars 2
3. Bionic Commando Rearmed
4. Ikaruga
5. Original Geometry Wars

I only own four, and I would rate them like this:

1. Doom
2. Braid
3. Zuma
4. Hexic HD

I will say that I've had a hell of a lot of fun with the first three of those games, so it's hard to rate them.

Best game so far: Castlepwnia: Symphony of the night

Top future game: Banjo-Kazooie

That was precisely why i bought Castle crashers, I read somwhere before castle crasherss was released that it had similar multiplayar mayhem like Guardian heroes does, And as i said before, if Microsoft can get a great multiplayer game like castle Crashers on to XBLA then surely theres still hope that the Legendary Guardian heroes can join it on XBLA one day too, Treasure are working exclusively with microsoft when it comes to XBLA games (in other words no psn games from treasure) What microsoft should do is as soon as things go quiet and all these BIG releases dry up they should suddenly spring another classic Treasure game upon us.......... Radient silvergun

Braid, Geometry Wars, Uno, and Pac-Man CE.

Honorable mention to Commanders, Prince of Persia, and Castle Crashers (awesome demos that I've yet to buy the full game for).

Upcoming: Banjo Kazooie and Portal

Uno
Bomberman Live
Bionic Commando Rearmed
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Braid

Coming soon:
Castle Crashers
Banjo Kazooie
Duke Nukem 3D

Thats true Machina, me owning a 360 may seem hypocritical, but, after the fall of Sega i couldn't care less what happened as long as Sony one day fell too, Sony got where they are today in the gaming buiseness because of their money (not thier actual gaming talent) Basically to cut a long story short i beleive that Microsoft can do to sony what sony did to Sega

Microsoft can match Sony in the Money stakes (in fact Microsoft obviously beat them in the money stakes) and thats why i beleive that Microsoft over the coming years will slowly grind Sony down until Sony is reduced in to a Quivering, Shivering wreck and i for one can't wait........ microsoft will continue to take exclusives and that will unlimately lead to sonys downfall (But sony are the masters of paying to get to where they are and the way i see it now is that its a dog eat dog world)

Real legends in the gaming business........ Nintendo, SEGA, Capcom, Namco, Atari, Square, Valve, Rockstar, Konami ect ect, NOT sony

In an ideal world there would still be only the two real Software and hardware makers around..... Sega and Nintendo

you definitely have a chip on your shoulder :P
