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

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
    • Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
