    Geometry Wars is brilliant.

    Zuma is a lot of fun.

    Bomberman is still the best multiplayer game, ever!

    Texas Hold 'em is a nice way to kill a few hours (particularly on the competitive tables).

    Re: Xbox live arcade games

    Geometry Wars: who doesn't have this!? It's a terrific quick blast/time killer.

    Heavy Weapon: nostaglic entertainment and a great example of who to bring refresh an old title.

    I'm still waiting for a XBLA port of Super Ghouls 'n' Ghosts port to appear - it was mentioned a while ago but has yet to surface

    Looking forwards to playing some Bionic Commando Rearmed - judging by the previews it's looking great.
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    Re: Xbox live arcade games

    Cheers you lot

    Can't believe I hadn't considered geometry wars seeing as I loved the clone I had for PC!

    I'll give the others a look, ta!

    Also while I'm at it, is there any way of buying microsoft points online without having a credit card (ie use my debit card)?

    Raz316,

    You can buy the points from Here

    Although when you buy online you would usually also use a debit or credit card therefore this might not be of any help I guess.

    Cheers Carl, I assume you'll then post out the DVD case with the card yeah?
    Sorry I should have been more clear, is it possible to buy the points and get the voucher code emailed to you or something? I know it's a long shot.

    Thanks though

    Re: Xbox live arcade games

    Castlevania (fantastic port of the PS game)
    Green Beret (or Rush'n'Attack as it's called on XBL)
    Bomberman is good fun
    Catan
    Galaga (I just love a bit of space Invaders now and then)
    Doom (classic, and on offer now for 400pts)
    Geon was good, but online is dead
    Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Sonic 1/2 (again classics)
    Puzzle Fighter 2 was good (looking at getting this next perhaps) as was poker smash

    Re: Xbox live arcade games

    Gemoetry wars, hard as hell but an awesome game.

    Tip
    If you make a spare profile on your Xbox with country listed as US you can download Aegis Wing & Yaris free full arcade games. You can then play the full game from your proper profile

    Yaris actual proper blows but Aegis Wing is pretty nifty.

    My dead body is worth £5750.

    Re: Xbox live arcade games

    My favourite XBL games are Geometry Wars and Marble Blast Ultra.

    Switchball isn't too bad ... but the engine is slow, and they don't sync to the screen refresh rate so the tearing is very, very annoying.
