Rounding out the list was the addictive dual-analog stick shooter Geometry Wars 2, sequel to the game that started our love affair with the XBLA service at 22%. Capcom's HD reboot experiment took the next two spots with Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix at third place with 21% and Bionic Commando Rearmed in fourth with 8%. Controversial pick A Kingdom for Keflings rounded out the list at 7%.
While it was not included due to its ongoing online problems, even post-title update four-months after the game released, Castle Crashers received a number of write-in votes and remains highly-recommended within the community.
From the comments:
"Even putting the nostalgia and brilliant art and music aside, the gameplay alone [in Braid] makes it a worthy pick for XBLA game of the year. But the fantastic presentation is what made it an all-timer in my mind." -- pixelate
