Special thanks to the developer for hooking us up :)

Since I myself live in Australia, and cannot download Indie games. I just thought I'd put this here to show which countries CAN get this game.

Currently U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, Sweden, Singapore and Spain.

So if you DO NOT live in any of those countries, I'm afraid this is unavailable to you... Unless you decide to trick your xbox into thinking you're from one of those countries.

My favourite XBL game would have to be Castle Crashers, it's charming and a blast to play with a couple of friends.

@ Aryon, thanks for posting up the list. Also, I don't think there are any workarounds for this restriction at the moment...I'm actually surprised that Australia still hasn't made it to the list considering there are numerous developers from that region but I suspect it's a result of the stricter laws over there especially since these games have no ESRB rating.

My favorite XBL Indie game would have to be This Is Hard. On top of being a huge fan of the art style, the game is enjoyably frustrating if that makes any sense.

As far as XBLA titles, I'm going to have to go with Castlevania SotN. The game has aged magnificently and still remains the cream of the Castlevania crop imo.

As for upcoming releases, I'm dying to get my hands on Meatboy.

Honestly, one of the biggest surprises for me was Ticket to Ride. I got addicted to that game in a way I never thought I could from XBLA games.

1) I haven't played too many XBLA games. I'll have to go with Pac-Man Championship Edition. It's just classic.

2) Liked on Facebook as Jake Boss

Someone by the name of Jake replied to the Facebook post but didn't specify their username, please do that so I know who you are on the forum.

My favorite XBLA so far has to be Fable II Pub Games. Its addicting, fun, and can be tough at moments which are fun.

I'm a sucker for Tower-Defense-style games, so my favorite right now is Defense Grid.
