Outland and Clash of Heroes on XBLA drove Ubi's digital sales growth

Outland is one of the best games of this year - it's pretty darn amazing.

Maybe cause you can beat Child of Eden in less than an hour?

Clash of Heroes isn't even my kind of game but I gave it a shot after all the great reviews and ended up putting 68 hours into it to 100% it. I sincerely hope they do another one like it.

This game just looks so beautiful. But I have catch up on my forever increasing to play pile. Will buy this eventually though.

I REALLY don't get all the swooning over Child Of Eden, at most I'd call the game decent but it's not nearly as fun or great as some game-reviewers or magazines would have you believe and therefore it comes as no surprise that COE isn't the game to drive Ubisofts sales.

In the undying words of Flavor Flav - "DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE"!

Clash of Heroes is so fantastic.

I've realized this summer that I am spending far more time with XBLA, PSN, iOS and budget games than I am with AAA releases. I'm really burned out on the repetition of themes and gameplay in most top tier titles.

Child of Eden would have been a great XBLA game. Had it been downloadable out of the gate, and priced at $15 or less, it would have sold very well. As a full-price boxed game, it never had a chance.

Cool story, bro.

Just some input on Child of Eden, both of my local Best Buys were sold out after the initial launch day for about 3 weeks. I sounded like they didn't have many copies to begin with-- I ended up giving up on Best Buy and finding a copy elsewhere. When I questioned Best Buy when/if they were going to have more, they said they didn't know or maybe in the next shipment (but it never was). I'm really not seeing quantities of this game anywhere. But then again, Best Buy seems to be running "leaner" these days for a lot of items.

I love Clash of Heroes. An excellent purchase, and a great value at $15. I have several big budget titles on Standby mode while I finish up with it. I want MORE like this. You publishers and developers listening?

There has been a real lack of turn-based strategy games this generation, at least on home consoles. I find that odd, when people are STILL playing FFT and Tactics Ogre, and clamoring for more.

Glad to see both of those games performed well, especially Clash of Heroes. I bought it when it came out for DS, but the fact that it can perform well in the digital marketplace as well certainly says something about the state of the current gaming market.
