What XBLA games are worth it?


Recommended Posts

It has already been announced for 800pts

This 800pts thing is stupid...this is the main problem with most people probably buying Arcade Games. I rather go out and try to buy a game off ebay for the 360 for the $12.00

  • 4 weeks later...

well i went on a shopping spree in the arcade section

These are what i got

Brain Challenege (achievements are tough but the game is fun)

Geo Wars 2 + Geo Wars (currently best money spent)

Pacman C.E (another great purchase)

Shizoid (demo was great the actual game not so much, i need someone to play with me :()

Uno (must have)

Assault Hereos 2 (lots of fun, tough achievments)

Hopefully one day i will 200/200 these arcade games

I'm thinking of buying

Carcassone or w/e and Undertow

I'll see how things go in Uni if my friends will coop some games ill get Castle Crashers and ill finish aegis wing.

Also i tried Braid, didn't really like it

Best ones I've tried

Braid

Geometry wars 2

Rez HD

Ikaruga

N+

And I've heard very good things about Pacman C.E.

Don't buy Geometry wars evolved if you are going to buy or already have GW 2, you have the game inside the second game in a mode, and Metal Slug 3 is an emulator with a filter to make the textures pretty, so no, It's not HD as they say.

yea but geowars and geowars 2 are different, i mean the evolved in geowars 2 isnt the same the with the geoms.

I prefer the older evolved it was more challenging but 2 is still great fun. Plus if your an achievment ###### and your good at the game get the original as well.

The new mode has more variety of enemies, multiplier doesn't break on death and has geoms. It's not worth spending 400, if you already have spent 800 in geo wars 2, And I'd buy 2 before the old one because it offers much more modes and a multiplayer mode, imho

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
    • I'm lost too... what did you mean by your first comment then?
    • Couple years ago I got a brand new 4TB Samsung 990 Pro for $250 during Black Friday
