XBLA 150MB limit strikes again — sorry Bionic Commando: Rearmed

Microsoft really should just throw in the towel on this one; there’s no denying that the games coming out for Xbox LIVE Arcade are suffering because of the asinine 150MB limit on DLC. The latest victim is Bionic Commando: Rearmed, the 3D remake of the 8-bit original.

Sure, Microsoft is looking out for Xbox 360 owners who don’t have hard drives, yadda yadda. This oddly incongruent business plan is the same thing that’s hurting the quality of games on the 360. The company’s got no qualms nickle-and-diming people on controllers, wireless adapters and downloadable content, but far be it from them to mandate something that actually makes games look great.

First Street Fighter II HD Remix and now this. Naturally, I’m peeved because this means another win for the PlayStation 3, throwing the Force out of balance again.
