'Limbo' named best-selling SoA title

Microsoft has named Limbo as the best-selling title of its Summer of Arcade season, Joystiq reports.

Speaking at the Tokyo Game Show, vice president Phil Spencer also singled out the PlayDead Studios offering as his game of the year so far.

"Our number one Summer of Arcade game is Limbo by a long stretch," said Spencer. "I think there was a time when Live Arcade was about IP that people knew. It's changing, though.

"I really think coming out of Braid, Shadow Complex, Limbo… that it's changing a little bit. We see that in the market, that it's becoming less about iconic IP that people know and it’s becoming more diverse.

"I love Limbo. I think Limbo's probably my game of the year right now."

Other releases during the Summer of Arcade season included Hydro Thunder, Monday Night Combat, Castlevania: Harmony Of Despair, and Lara Croft And The Guardian Of Light.
