Watching the above video of Twisted Pixel's The Maw, you'd never guess you were looking at an Xbox LIVE Arcade title. The game's style -- coupled with the level of detail and polish -- looks closer to a full retail product than some of the other titles you might see on Microsoft's service. 

"We loved the idea of being able to download fun, high-quality games from consoles," Twisted Pixel's Chief Creative Officer Josh Bear told us, "so that was the goal of the company: making awesome downloadable titles and pushing that whole thing forward."

From what we've seen so far, they look to be on the right track with The Maw. We recently caught up with Bear to find out a bit more about The Maw, bringing "retail-quality" experiences to the downloadable space, and more.
