The Top 25 Xbox Live Arcade Games

Starting off with little more than a handful of straight ports of vintage arcade games, Xbox LIVE Arcade has really blossomed into a fantastic platform. Via the online distribution service, you can get your hands on hundreds of games that rival and even surpass experiences that you'd typically have to go to a store to buy.

Last year marked the first time that IGN posted a "Top 25" list devoted exclusively to XBLA titles. This year, we're amending the list to include the new crop of excellent games that have become available through the service. Some games have been added, and some have been removed, so read on to see if your favorite XBLA title made the cut.
