Top 5 XBLA: Side Scroll/Platformers

JGGH writes "In the good effort of trying to add new monthly or weekly features here, I present to you with the jggh Top 5 XBLA. Each month we will highlight 5 games from a particular genre from the XBLA. Tell you why we like them, break down the game for you, and hope you will have the opportunity to play some of these games if you may have missed them. With the recent burst in the Side Scroll/Platform genre and the way these games are scattered across the XBLA I thought that it needed some attention. So with no further adieu, I give you our Top 5."
