Capcom is another one a lot of people have been asking about. I don't mean biggest in size, but biggest in terms of quality, depth, story, that we've ever seen.
Shadow Complex will be one of the biggest games ever. "And the truth of the matter is that at the time we were talking about it last year, everybody didn't know whether Braid was going to be as good as it was.
"I actually think it's going to be an amazing year for the Summer of Arcade," he told. Xbox Live boss Marc Whitten reckons XBLA title Shadow Complex can be as good, if not better, than Braid when it's released this summer.
