Don't ever play that Yaris game. Ever. You'll want to kill yourself afterward.

I don't really have anything else to recommend other than to say you should hurry up and play Aegis Wing like you've been meaning to. Everything else I would recommend is already on your list.

Pac-Man Champ Edition is good fun all round!

Puzzle Quest is terrific and has multiplayer to boot

Omega Five

Aces of the Galaxy (especially if you like sexy looking shooters)

Rez HD

Every Extend Extra Extreme

Golf! Tee it Up (if you like golf games, this is terrific for such a small download)

Mutant Storm Empire

Poker Smash (very addictive little poker/puzzle hybrid)

Pinball FX

SoulCalibur (come on!)

TriggerHeart Excelica (I think that's how you spell the last part)

Undertow (awesome game)

WOTB: Commando 3 (very much like 1942 obviously)

There's plenty of others I play, but those are my current favs. There's also Boom Boom Rocket if you like music rhythm games, and plenty others I could recommend :D

Heavy Weapon ? Probably the best 800ms point I have spent, awesome playing that with 4 people round the 360.

(If anyone can survive more than 25mins on that I?m interested in having a game with you Geometry Wars ? It gets stupidly hard but for some reason I love it, must be the amazing colGeometry Wars 2 2 ? Its not out until next month but it will be aMarble Blast Ultraltra ? Good arcade fun.

Aegis Wing is really fun when you're playing co-op. I've never tried it solo, but the ship-linking (for lack of a better term) and the items lend themselves really well to co-op.

EDIT: Whoops. The other game I mentioned is on your list. Nevermind.

I love Yaris (well..not love but its not bad for a free game).

My list of XBLA games bought follows:

  1. Undertow
  2. Carcassone
  3. Pacman Championship Edition
  4. 3D Miniature Golf
  5. Mortal Kombat
  6. Contra
  7. Super Contra
  8. Aegis Wing
  9. Uno

I really love PACMAN CE the most.

Can't believe no one has mentioned Bomberman Live yet. Fantastic game with lots of unlockables and customization, plus there is 8 player online :yes:

Banjo Kazooie 1 and 2 are coming to Arcade, so look out for those. Geometry Wars 2 is this week.

Mind has gone blank and can't think of any more just now :p

I've been playing 1942 a lot recently, and it's really fun. It takes a little while to get good at, but it's a nice, short game. Some people may hate that (it'll last around an hour I'd guess), but I think that's good for an arcade game. I want to be able to finish it in one sitting, and it's definitely still fun to replay.

Commando 3 is the same way, IMO. They're made by the same developer.

I forgot that I own that game. I really really don't like it that much.

Anyone think the price of Geo Wars 2 will be 400MS?
