I never played the original but I have read some excellent things about Rez. The premise & gameplay sound interesting and fun, and their 360-fying of the graphics should be very nice.
I read that the "Trance Vibrator" peripheral for the PS2 will be somehow useable for the XBLA version. It makes me wonder what the heck kind of game controller that is..

Rez should be a good addition to XBLA. I have a feeling it will be one of the better downloads in the near future.
Chessmaster is going to be a pretty tight crowd to cater to, but I know of a couple of people on my friend's list who will probably abuse that game.
