When the majority of XBLA releases are terrible (arcade rehashes, crossword puzzles…ugh), there is simply no reason to pay attention to each week’s releases.  Microsoft has finally done something that might ignite a bit more interest in the service.  They are offering some serious prizes and promoting some highly anticipated games.

PS: The prizes are cool, but they could have just worked on quality (vs quantity) over the past year and not had to fight this battle.

PPS: I’m looking forward to Geo Wars 2 and Castle Crashers.

See the MS press release.
See what arstechnica had to say about the upcoming titles.
