IGN has created a list of the highest selling Xbox Live Arcade games, and the more I look at the list, the more I personally disagree with it, but who am I to say that everyone else is wrong?
Here is IGN’s list:
1. Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved
2. Gauntlet
3. Smash TV
4. Bejeweled II
5. Zuma
6. Bankshot Billiards
7. Outpost Kaloki
8. Mutant Storm Reloaded
9. Joust
10. Wik: Fable of Souls
Here would be my list:
1. Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved
2. Outpost Kaloki
3. Smash TV
4. Bejeweled II
5. Bankshot Billiards
6. Zuma
7. Wik: Fable of Souls
8. Gauntlet
9. Joust
10. Mutant Storm Reloaded
Not too many changes, but some major ones. I don’t get why Gauntlet is so high up on the IGN list, nor why such an original feeling game as Wik: Fable of Souls is at the bottom, and so as much as popular demand says otherwise, I think my list is a better one for those looking for the most fun games to the least fun games, despite what might be the top selling or not. One think I don’t like about Bankshot Billiards that the folks at Xbox 360 Fanboy will agree with me on, is the price premium on a pool game with it costing an amazing $15 USD to purchase. But no doubt some companies would like to charge even more for their products.
It makes me wonder though where it would be in the top sellers list if it was only $5, and where Geometry Wars would have come in, if the title was double or triple its current price.
