Xbox live arcade games

[Raz316]

So, what've you lot bought and which are your favourites?

I've only got two, N+ (that flash ninja game) and Rez (you all know it )

Also, my gamertag is Chreeeese if anyone wants to add me?

[SmileyUK]

my faves so far are geometry wars, bejewelled 2, poker smash, lumines, rez and bomberman. Although i am sure i am forgetting some.

Pop me over a fr if you like, my name is easier to spell than yours

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).

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.

[Raz316]

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)?

[Carlh]

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.

[Carlh]

Whoops double post

[Raz316]

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

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

[Stephen C]

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.

I've got N+....its brilliant fun.
Also got Geometry Wars, Alien Hominid, TMNT 1989 Arcade Classic, Undertow, Carcassone.

N+ is my fav, its brilliant.

[Knoxville]

Been playing quite a bit of poker smash myself recently, great little game

[noTHINGface]

It's always been about Space Giraffe for me...

[wrathamon]

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.

[danroyle]

my favourites are

GAUNTLET

BOMBERMAN

two brilliant games

[Deadlight]

Oh, JetPac does it for me. Something do with buying the original on my Speccy 48k..and Lunar JetMan...
