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

    • I am not a fan of haptic feedback touchpads. I've owned a Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon) with one and a Lenovo Slim (Intel), and I hated both to the point where I purchased different laptops. It's not that they don't work most of the time; it's that they don't work 100% of the time, and there is no advantage from a user's perspective over a good mechanical trackpad like what's on a ThinkPad X1 or a Yoga 9i. I do not believe that I'll buy another haptic feedback touchpad laptop again in the near future.
    • Works fine here too. About this build, I don't like to download any kind of Windows, from any site except Microsoft. The mod might work, but I don't know what it's inside. Can contain malware, backdoors... Long time ago I've used something like this but reversed - it was 98se with the look and some functionality  of XP. Or, later XP with Vista look. But I made it myself. Not downloaded from obscure sites.
    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
