I've been dying or some news on Castle Crashers for a while - that game looks awesome. Looking forward to playing it!

Castle Crashers is the only right choice.
I already have Geometry Wars for my GW fix (of course I'm still getting GW2, but you said only one)

It's literally too hard to pick. I've heard so much about Braid, but Geom Wars 2 looks insane! And of course, castle crashers....good thing they're cheap.

Bionic Commando Rearmed. Way too many good memories of the original to pass this one up.

Definitely not geometry wars 2 considering how punishing the first one was.
I'll download the trial for castle crashers.. it could be fun, it could be mindless button mashing. We'll see. Bionic Commando is a sure buy... no need for the trial version.

Braid. Looks like it may actually be breathing new life into platforming - and there just aren't nearly enough good 2D platformers these days. Soul Bubbles, LostWinds...and that's basically it for the year so far.

Still no Load Runner. 360 Fanboy's prediction that it would be released next week was almost 2 years ago!...hehe

i guess castle crashers and geo wars 2 sort of help a bit in healing the deep cut from the wipeout hd nonsense

Oh good, looks like I need to read the articles instead of the post titles.

Hells yeah Bionic Commando,Castle Crashers and Galaga.
The fact that Duke 3D and Megaman 9 aren't in that list makes me sad though.

Somehow, Braid has slipped under my radar (and I frequent gaming sites several times a day!) so I haven't heard much about it....thus, my interest in it is zero. I'll look out for info, though.
But the REST of the list...wow. I'm going to be spending a lot of virtual money in the next few weeks. Holy crap!
*I like to call these downloads as virtual money so that I don't think about how much it's all actually costing me. =)

Go wiki Braid. It's an action-puzzle-ish game where you control time. It won the the Innovation in Game Design award at 2006's independent games awards, beating out Darwinia.
