"Some great Xbox Live Arcade games were released in 2009 from Shadow Complex to Battlefield 1943. 2009 was a year that got Xbox 360 owners to plunk down their MS Points. Microsoft wanted to know which games Xbox 360 owners liked best so put up a poll on Xbox Live for people to vote on their favorite games. The results came in today and the motorcycle stunt game, Trials HD, came away with the Best Overall Arcade Game of 2009."
"I feel any good villain deserves a good rhyme. Here’s one I made for Gruntilda the witch:
There once was a witch named Gruntilda
who sat high atop a big hill-da.
Tooty’s beauty she’d take
and rhymes she would make,

"As soon as you fire up Banjo Tooie, you’ll be greeted with that all too familiar banjo music. The music in this game really brightens the mood that little bit further. It just makes this game a pleasure to play."

In the coming of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & bolts I thought that I would make a list of the top theme songs in the Banjo-Kazooie games.
5. Jinjo Village.
One word... WOW! The song is beautifully recorded and the theme is just one you can't get out of your head. When you first hear those first few notes you know that the song is a good one. The theme also suits the area in Banjo-Tooie as well.
4. Cauldron Keep
This theme is awesome and keeps in the theme of nervous tension. The...
"5.) Donkey Kong Country
Release Date: November 25, 1994
Console: SNES
The year was 1994, and the Super Nintendo was in trouble. With most of the gaming world focused on Sonys upcoming PlayStation, and others preoccupied with Segas Genesis
