From the review, "A game like Arcadecraft is a rare find on consoles. It has the simplicity of a mobile game, is priced like a mobile game, but has the overall design of a casual game that was developed by Microsoft. Of course, Arcadecraft was not born from the mind of Microsoft. It’s an Xbox Live Indie game from Firebase Industries. In it, you are the proprietor of a new arcade business in the 1980s. The goal is to create the most popular arcade in town by getting customers (who are Xbox Live avatars) to visit your establishment and fistfulls of quarters."

To make finding those elusive hidden gems easier, we’ve rounded-up five of the best"
