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.

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

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?

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Vivaldi version 8.0.4033.50 released June 17: https://vivaldi.com/blog/desktop/minor-update-eight-8-0/
    • The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.
    • While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
