Bastion XBLA

I've got this generation in my pocket but I find my Wii dying because it is not an HD console and my xbox getting dust because when a game gets released on both ps3 and 360 I go for the ps3 version. However after watching the GT E3 awards and review I had to give this game a trial run.
What can I say that is not said in the reviews? Not much. The game is a hack n slash. It is isometric. The world "falls" into place as you walk around bringing something different to the table. But the biggest thing the game brings is narative action story telling. While the developers claims it is not original this is the first time I've seen it and I could give points to them for saying it is not an original idea. However it does feel like your playing a story as the voice guides you into using your abilities and weapons.
Give the trial version a try. It is 1200 MS points to unlock the full game and a 560mb download from XLA.
