Xbox Live Arcade gets some mainstream media love on the front page of Tuesday's USA Today Life section in an article about the rush to cash in on retro games. There's a nice plug for Pac-Man and a quote sure to make Greg Canessa proud:
Mardi Goldman, 56, of West Los Angeles purchased the Xbox and then the Xbox 360 primarily for her son Chiam, 15. When he introduced her to the Xbox Live Arcade, she got hooked on UNO, playing with a group of "gamer chicks."
"I am able to interact with people all over the world," she says. "I've raved about this to my friends, and a few of them have gone out and got an Xbox 360, just for the arcade games."
Sure the marketing team didn't write that? A companion piece compares XBLA favorably to GameTap and Pogo.
