Thanks for the expansion on your opinion.

I don't really play any Arcade/Indie games on the 360 - barely play any retail games anymore either...
However, since Brothers is featured in the bogus "Summer of Arcade"* that has been advertised on the menu tiles, I saw the video and was intrigued by the 'puzzle-ish' gameplay, warmth, and art style so I played the demo/trial the other day, and liked it (in a childish, guilty pleasure, sort of way - the town slightly reminds me a tad bit of The Shire).
I couldn't help but wonder, is the full game worth the full 1200 space points? How large is the world they are in, does it leave the door open for DLC (and a possible discount in the near future)?

Based on the few achievements, I feel like it would be a short game. Seems like a number of the achievements are right within the demo area in the main town. It is fun to explore and see the different characterizations, but that only goes so far in such a seemingly limited world.

*I call the "Summer of Arcade" bogus because Summer is almost over. How can it be Summer of Arcade when so much of the summer has already expired? Did I miss the prior sales this summer? I recall this being an annual sale, but it is really grinding my gears this time around.
Also, How is a Soul Pack for a game that I do not own, a "reward" for participating in their Summer 'sale'?????
