What was XBLA's biggest seller this year?

It wasn't Perfect Dark, Trials HD or Castle Crashers...

This year's biggest sellers on Xbox Live Arcade have been estimated, in a report by Forecasting & Analyzing Digital Entertainment.

According to FADE, the leading game nudging its way in front on revenue gained is... Toy Soldiers. Yes, you read that correctly.

The first title in Microsoft's Block Party has nudged ahead of Perfect Dark, Castle Crashers, Trials HD, Marvel vs Capcom 2 et al to become the biggest Xbox Live Arcade game thus far in 2010, according to the report.

However, we're in the middle of Microsoft's Summer of Arcade promotion, with Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light likely to pose a serious threat to Toy Soldiers' status as the biggest seller.

Here are the numbers...

# Toy Soldiers (Signal Studios) - $4.6 million (1200 Microsoft Points)

# Trials HD (RedLynx) - $4.4 million (800 - 1200 Microsoft Points)

# Castle Crashers (The Behemoth) - $2.9 million (800 - 1200 Microsoft Points)

# Battlefield 1943 (EA DICE) - $2.5 million (800 - 1200 Microsoft Points)

# Perfect Dark (4J Studios) - $2.4 million (800 Microsoft Points)

# Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (Capcom) - $1.8 million (800 - 1200 Microsoft Points)

# Family Game Night (EA Bright Light) - $1.7 million (400 - 800 Microsoft Points)

# Shadow Complex (Chair Entertainment) - $1.2 million (800 - 1200 Microsoft Points)

# Magic: The Gathering (Stainless Games) - $900,000 (800 Microsoft Points)

# Call of Duty Classic (Infinity Ward) - $800,000 (1200 Microsoft Points)

I'll be the first to ask: what the hell is Toy Soldiers? I've never even heard of that XBLA game, and it's the year's biggest seller? Is it that good?

It's a tower defense game with decent graphics. The game is OK but I didn't think it was great after playing the demo a while ago. I'll try it again soon.

I'm surprised it's the biggest seller of the year so far although I think it & COD are the only games on the list that came out this year.
