Xbox Live Arcade Recommendations?

10/09/10 10:45 am | #1

Just ordered a 4000 Points Card so I can get in on the "Spend 2400 points in October, get 800 points back" deal.

I already know I'll be spending 800 on Borderlands Claptrap DLC.

So I need to spend 1600 minimum elsewhere.

Any good DLC or Arcade games out there that are must haves in your opinions?

Arcade games I already have:
Shadow Complex
TrialsHD
Splosion Man
Peggle
A bunch of other random junk

Anyone have Limbo? I've heard good things about it, but don't like spending 1200 pts on an arcade game...since they are so short. Is it really worth it?

What about Braid?

Peggle, PvZ, Family Game Night DLCs, Sonics, retro games if you're into those, and that's all I got for you.

Forgot I have Peggle, added it to the OP. I have the Family Game Night disc...guess I better look into the DLC. Sonic I never go too into as a kid.

Plants vs. Zombies...I kinda wore myself out on tower defense games on my ipod touch so I'm not too sure about that one.

Thanks for the info AJ!

Braid is fun, but the replay value is fairly low.

I always suggest Portal: Still alive to everyone! I enjoyed Kingdom for Keflings, too!

You could get the DLC for Peggle and or Trials, they're 400 each I believe.

Everything else I would have suggested has already been suggested it looks like

I think Castlevania Symphony of the Night is good.

If you want some relatively easy GS then Pac Man, Ms Pac Man, Dig Dug, New Rally X, UNO, UNO Rush, and Texas Cheat Em are some easy routes.

Magic the Gathering is decent, even if you have never played it in real life.

I bought and completed Pictureka and Jenga for Family Game Night a couple hours ago.

They were both surprisingly fun, only took about 30 minutes for Pictureka and an hour and a half for Jenga.

I plan on getting those when they hit the Deal of the Week.

Yea, who knows when that's going to be... I've been waiting like 6 months already.. Tired of waiting. Just need another 800 points for Connect 4x4 for the completion...

I played Portal on the Orange Box....is there any difference to the Arcade version that makes it worth a separate purchase? I still have The Orange Box.

The Dead Rising arcade game is fun. Umm... I'll just list my favorite arcade games, lol.

DeathSpank
Lumines
Kingdom for Keflings
Outpost Kaloki
Puzzle Quest (the 1st is the best)
Arkadian Warriors
... and the rest of the ones I like are mostly RPGs, so I won't bother to list them.

Deathspank is one I had considered...and good call on the RPG's you know that's not my thing!

Noone mentioned Castle Crashers, it was pretty fun to play with friends and a fairly easy completion could always pick up Mega Man 9 or 10 for some old school ass kickin and Zombie Apocalypse was pretty fun and also an easy completion. I'll try and think of some more suggestions
