This has been out for a little while on XBLA and was just released on Steam today, it's a really nice action RPG with gorgeous visuals, a great soundtrack and solid, well designed, gameplay.
You play as "A Kid" and there's a dynamic narrator that talks about everything you do. I really like how he never breaks the flow no matter what, not really sure how to explain it but it works really well and adds a lot to the overall atmosphere.
I suggest playing with a controller as it lends itself more to the style of the game so be prepared to plug in your dualshock and set up MotionInJoy unless you have a 360 controller. Also there's a demo up on Steam, not sure about XBLA.

It's been so long since I bought anything for Xbox. Might give this a go.
And every game on XBLA has a demo.

This is half price on Steam at the moment, you guys should really check it out there or on XBLA if you're so inclined. One of the best indie games this year by far.

This is really good and you all should play it if you haven't yet. I regret leaving it in my library untouched as long as I did now.
