Any Good XBLA Games?

Post by MusicallyInspired »

Anyone have any recommendations for some XBLA titles? I just got some points and purchased Deathspank (made by Monkey Island creator Ron Gilbert, btw) and still have 1820 left over. I was thinking of Portal: Still Alive for its bonus exclusive maps, but I'd rather have a new game experience. I was thinking of either Serious Sam HD or Sonic 4 when it comes out. I just don't know. I glanced through the catalogue but nothing is really that interesting. Anyone have any suggestions? (those who have a 360)

Hrm. Dunno. I have an X360 but usually buy just the regular games. Only game I purchased via XBL was PAC MAN CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION. Which I dig. But I was a Pac Man freak back in the day.

I should probably list all the Arcade games I currently own so nobody suggests something I already have and you guys can get a feel for what types of games I like....sort of.

What I have:
  • Monkey Island SE
  • Duke Nukem 3D
  • Perfect Dark HD
  • Deathspank
  • Indigo Prophecy
  • Shadow Complex
  • TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled

If you can't find something interesting, why not just hold onto those points and use them later? There's no point in getting something simply because you can.

Well I am interested in getting Serious Sam. I was just holding out in case there was something else that might be better that I hadn't seen or heard of.

I saw they just released a Castlevania game on the arcade that looked similar to the DS titles and I think it can support 4 players.

I've heard good things about Braid but have never played it. Oh and of course there is always Symphony of the Night (one of the best games ever) If you don't have this its totally worth it.

I'm not really sure what else is out there. I don't buy many arcade games myself.

Braid is one of the coolest games ive ever played. I love it. Everything about it is beautiful.
