Xbox live Community arcade games: Impressions

[Steven W]

Not my impressions I'm afraid, I haven't had the chance to download them yet.

Has anyone done so? If so, what do you think?

I've downloaded quite a few now, my general opinion is that a lot of the games are pretty good (some are excellent - such as Rez), but few are worth the 800 pts charged for them (600 would be approprite for most), and I'd definitely think twice before paying 1,200 pts for some of them (although I did buy Bankshot Billiards).

The classics (Sonic, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Green Beret, etc...) for 400pts are quite decent and do a good job of bringing back fond memories (just bought SoR2 this morning).

Plus there are always the demos to look at which generally give a good impression of what the game is like.
