E308: Xbox Live Arcade media roundup

You may be wondering why the logo for Portal: Still Alive, the recently announced XBLA exclusive title, is the headline image for this post. Well, even though Microsoft released a ton of new screens for its entire upcoming XBLA lineup this was the only image they thought we needed for Portal: Still Alive. So, it's basically our gallery. After examining the image we really think Valve nailed the look and feel of the original ... logo. Can't wait for more!

Below are the latest screens (five new screens added to the Geometry Wars 2 gallery) of the XBLA titles Microsoft is focusing on for E3 2008. Take a gander at the latest from Castle Crashers, Uno Rush, Galaga Legions, Fable 2: Pub Games, Braid and Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2.

Anyone notice how I can see everyone's cards in Uno Rush. Is this the new thing? Playing cards with an open hand?

Ah! Didn't notice that!
Maybe they tweaked the way the game plays to allow it...
But IMO, I look forward to trying it!
Open hands means the possibility of local multiplayer!
(I know...yes I look forward to an UNO game...so what!)

I can't wait for the new Portal game! When are they going to release more info about it? Is it the same game with additional levels or is it a totally new sequel? I may have missed it already but I am anxious to find out.

I have to say, galaga looks on par with geometry wars in terms of flashy colourfulness i like!
Very interested in all of these except for that braid, looks like maple story :/

I'm hyped for Braid. An adult Mario-style platformer? Coolness.

So---is Portal going to be a standalone XBLA title, or do we need Orange Box to play it?
