Xbox Live boss Marc Whitten reckons XBLA title Shadow Complex can be as good, if not better, than Braid when it's released this summer.

"I actually think it's going to be an amazing year for the Summer of Arcade," he told GamesIndustry.biz. "And the truth of the matter is that at the time we were talking about it last year, everybody didn't know whether Braid was going to be as good as it was.

"I think those games [for 2009] are amazing. Shadow Complex will be one of the biggest games ever. I don't mean biggest in size, but biggest in terms of quality, depth, story, that we've ever seen.

"Marvel vs. Capcom is another one a lot of people have been asking about. So I'm actually really excited about that line-up," he added.

Shadow Complex will made by Epic's internal studio Chair (of Undertow fame) and was announced during Microsoft's E3 keynote address. The first trailer shows a 2D side-scrolling platform game interspersed with third-person turret shooting and cinematic cut-scenes. It looks strong.

Joining Shadow Complex this summer will be Marvel vs. Capcom 2, The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, Trials HD, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-shelled and 'Splosion Man

Bring on da Pizza Time! =P

And yeah, I can't wait to play Shadow Complex too.

Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Shadow Complex looks like a great Contra / Metal Slug shooter.
If a HD Turtles game is half as fun as castle crashers, that's another winner.
Magic the Gathering XBLA is supposed to release next week, so I don't know why that's not on the list.

Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
