Xbox Live Arcade
Lupercal:
So, just wondering what games people have got through the XBLA and what they think of them.
I haven't really had too much from there (money and 20GB HDD for one thing) but I did get a few:
Sonic Adventure: To my dismay it was the Director's Cut, so that means that the 1999 version I loved on my Dreamcast stayed there, while I played a glitchy version of it. Its also aged horribly - what I thought would be a nice nostalgia trip ended up being disappointment.
Outrun: Pretty awesome, its the usual deal really. Although multiplayer achievements are impossible due to nobody else playing online.
I'm thinking about buying Marathon: Durundal. Anybody had any experience with this?
As a service I find it pretty convenient but sometimes I think "well, that's way overpriced".
Gemmwah:
PACMAN CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION DX.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS GAME, YOU NEED TO BUY THIS GAME. Seriously, the best pac man game I have ever played hands down, it's incredible, the style, the music, especially the menu music oh my god. This game is everything that is right with the world.
Scandanavian War Machine:
Can we talk about XBL Indie games in here too?
because you should all probably definitely buy:
Miner Dig Deep
Epic Dungeon
Silent Call
Cthulhu Saves The World
As far as XBLA goes, Ilomilo or whatever it's called is really neat, though maybe not worth full price. I bought it on a Friday when I was sick and it was a good way to spend a lazy weekend, but not much beyond that.
edit: might as well list some other Arcade games I've bought and enjoyed:
Trials HD (absolutely necessary)
Geometry Wars 2
Castle Crashers
Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers (meh. if you like Magic it's cool, but even then it's probably not worth it)
Blue Kitty:
The Scott Pilgrim game is really good, and you can't go wrong with Marvel vs Capcom 2
Caleb:
"February 28th - "Members Choice Deal of the Week" GOLD MEMBERS ONLY
