So, as a result of MS having the policy where if its not a simultaneous release for all systems or MS gets it first, then it won't let publishers / devs put their games up on the xbox live marketplace...

I think that's an extremely petty and under-handed business practice on M$'s part. "Simultaneous launch" bullshit, since PSN doesn't update on the same day. It puts the squeeze on small developers to either comply with their demands and launch sooner on XBL or they won't allow them to publish on their service at all. Either way, consumers get the shaft.

If you don't like these tactics, don't forget to vote with your wallet next gen.

Only Microsoft product I own is Windows Vista--go ahead, ask me how much I like it!

The first time I heard the theory that this was somehow related to the MS policy, I didn't think it was likely. I mean, unless Microsoft called them up after the release and said "Take it down or we won't put it on XBL", I figured the company would have already been aware of the MS policy. However, with this statement I'm now leaning towards it being likely that it's related to MS. If that is the case...total BS.

Storm Review | OXM UK

OXM UK: "With around 50 levels to chew on, the game is substantial but no banquet, and the later levels don't really build on their predecessors in any mind-blowing ways. It's a welcome break from the frenzy elsewhere on Xbox Live, but it never threatens to become a fixture."
