The person that thought of Xbox Live Arcade, has to be sitting in their office just grinning. How simple of an idea is XBLA? No matter how simple it is, if people don't like the current 360 games, they are almost certain to find something to occupy them on XBLA. Hard to say this, but kudos to Microsoft. Something like XBLA is a simple way to keep people happy and continue profits if their games arn't selling.

mystic-shadow, totally. There's so much quality up on XBLA right now, even when comparing the games to full retail versions. I think I've actually spent more time on the arcade than anything else.

Worms? Alien Hominid? CASTLEVANIA?! :woot: Who could not love this?

:( I still want Commander Keen...

Wow, that would just be icing on the cake. Talk about nostalgia.

PAPERBOY! OMG!!!

I absolutely love that game! It's awesome! I used to play it so much on the NES, and now, on the 360...*drool*

Good thing you said something about this, I forgot to in my previous post. Hmm, I also can see a lot of fun times ahead :D

DotT and Indiana Jones: Fate of Atlantis were great games. I'd definitely play them again on XBLA. I'm also going to keep interjecting Hellbender until that happens too :p :D

Oh, and 3D Mini Golf...Best game ever - will be buying that when it comes out.

I am soooooooo hanging for Castlevania. I missed that on the PS. I hope it's the first game to come out.

The old Lucasfilm games would be cool too, especially if they cleaned the graphics up.

I never finished Indiana Jones or Sam & Max *embarrassed*
