    Not reading this off the 360 so from the top of my head


    Bomberman (Used to be ok, got boring fairly quick)
    Sensible Soccer (Not how I remember it)
    Echo (Pile of Crap)
    Streets of Rage 2 (Love it)
    Golden Axe (Love it but very short)
    Sonic (Great)
    Sonic 2 (Great)
    TMNT (Great)
    Undertow (We all got it free, was ok)
    Hexic HD (Fun)
    Hexic 2 (Fun but Hexic 1 was better)
    Carcassone (Crap)
    Geo Wars 1 (Good, bit overrated)
    UNO (Brilliant)
    Soon to Be Braid, absoloutely loved the demo.

    Off the top of my head:

    1942 (The new version... fun game, but very short - just 5 levels)
    Assault Heroes (great game)
    Assault Heroes 2 (not loving it as much as the original)
    Bomberman (got boring quickly)
    Braid (Beautiful beautiful beautiful)
    Castlevania SOTN (great platformer... must get back to finish the inverted castle)
    Geometry Wars (good, but I agree its overrated)
    Geometry Wars 2 (bloody fantastic... one of the best games on the marketplace)
    Marble Blast (I spent tens of hours on this one. Very competitive with a friend of mine. My first 200 gamerscore too..)
    N+ (good game, but gets very hard)
    Switchball (a more sedate marbleblast, not as good)
    Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 (like it alot - good challenge)

    Best games - Braid, Marble Blast and Geo Wars 2.

    I know I have more, I just can't think of them. I'll edit this post tonight when I can see the list in front of me!

    I've bought quite a few so I'll just list the top ones:

    Prince of Persia - Classic gameplay with updated graphics
    Braid - Excellent puzzles that don't rely on random rubbish or guesswork, great graphics and arty plot
    Geo Wars 2 - Skip the first one and get this one. Very addictive with a few boardsies on your friends list ;)
    N+ - Most frustrating game ever? But in a good way. No really.
    Penny Arcade Adventures - If you like rpgs and Penny Arcade.... which I do. Combat took a while to get into, but was extremely enjoyable once I did.
    UNO - Excellent hangover game :cool: not too hard on the brains or eyes but enjoyable
    Rez HD - Bizarre, but excellent pseudo-shooter/rhythm game
    Pacman CE - Appeals for many of the same reasons as Geo Wars
    Alien Hominid - Equal measures of frustration and enjoyability
    Bomberman Live - No better game if you have a few people around the tv
    Lumines - Gotta have some tetrisy type fun in there somewhere. The rhythm aspect really makes it stand out.
    Bankshot Billiards - Also great for playing against a mate in front of the tv

    There are a lot of rubbish games on xbla, but this lot above make the whole service worthwhile imo

    gah, the 10 free ones I got for registering with a friend whenever that was.

    Off the top of my head:

    Robotron 2084:5 absolute classic always coming back to it and recently got past wave 10, yay me!
    Smash TV: 4 took a while to get into but it's really rather good.
    Geometry Wars: 5 Love it despite the fact that it infuriates me more than any other XBLA game. Must get GW2.
    Mutant Storm: 1 Geometry Wars except ****. Far too easy, I played it for about 45 mins and turned it off because I was bored.
    Tempest: 1 Really poor conversion avoid!
    Commando 3: 2 Really disappointed with this. I loved Mercs but this game is nothing like it, playing more like assault heroes. Bosses are rubbish as well and I finished it on my first go.
    Prince of Persia: 5 It's a classic, can't fault it at all.
    Bomberman: 5 again brilliant, bomberman can't be beat for multiplayer laughs.
    Metal Slug 3: 4 good game much prefer 1 and 2 though
    N+: 5 Fantastic platformer
    Exit: N/A haven't played this enough to rate it so not going to do so unfairly.
    Ikaruga: 5 Brilliant game, only problem is everyone on my friends leaderboard is pathetic at it :P
    Omega Five: 4 Nice shoot'em up
    Undertow: 1 yawn, bored me to tears, lucky I didn't pay for it
    Puzzle Quest: 5 Love this game, great hybrid of puzzle game and RPG. Can't wait for the sequel and will be getting the expansion whenever I finish it.
    Castlevania SOTN: 5 Seminal action game, if you never played it before please right that wrong.
    Rush n'Attack: 4 I actually quite like this game. Nice old school platformer that is really tough but never unfair.
    Pac-Man CE:4 great update, really good for a quick blast.
    Worms: 4 hasn't aged that well but still great fun in multiplayer
    TMNT Arcade: 1 Well this has aged dreadfully, terrible stuff
    Space Giraffe: Took a while to get into but it's great once you can see what the hell is going on.
    Assault Heroes: 2 Poor mans geometry wars, not worth it.

    Hexic HD 4 - Good game
    Bankshot Billiards 4 - Good after a night out
    Tetris Splash 3 - meh, could be so much better, it's over after 20 mins as you can only go to a certain level
    Rootbeer Tapper 5 - Love this, simple button bashing and running around :D
    Marble Blast Ultra 5 - Great game, a lot of long nights on this!
    Cloning Clyde 3 - Entertaining, but too easy with little challenge
    Happy Tree Friends 1 - love the series but the game is very poor with no challenge. Had it finished in a few hours.
    Worms 4 - Little short on weapons but still good fun
    Uno 3 - ruined by all the muppets that play it who can't keep it in their pants!
    Caracasone 3 - OK, not my type of game
    Undertow 3 - ok game

    Rez. I really enjoyed it and missed it when it came out a few years back on another console. If you have a big tv or some good surround speakers it's even better.

    Geometry Wars is very addictive and good fun too.

    Braid seems to be getting a lot of praise as well.

    Have quite a few Arcade games so Im only gonna list those a few

    SWOS - 5 Love it, exactly how I remembered
    Marble Blast - 5
    Switchball - 5 not sure which one of these two I prefer, both excellent
    Undertow - 3 so so, never really got into it
    Bomberman - 4 good fun, but struggle to keep up with it in some games
    TMNT - 2 I used to love this and simpsons game when i was younger, hasnt aged well at all
    Gripshift - 5 love the mix of racing and puzzle
    Assault Heroes 1 & 2 - 4 for both, tho slightly preferred the first one
    Mutant Storm reloaded & empires - 4 same as above
    Roogoo - 4 strange puzzler, I have to concentrate so hard playing Im oblivious to everything else, same as GH3
    Geometry Wars 1 & 2 - 5 but prefer the second one, the leaderboards are a great addition

    Have a good few others which I have really gotten into yet - Catan, Eets, Ikaruga, N+... but downloaded Braid last night so cant wait to get stuck in

    Great! My brother robbed my xbox since he got a new HD TV but i'm taking it back, the cheeky bastard. I'll have to brush up my scores because I'm definitely not as good as I used to be (which wasn't that great anyway).

    ikaruga - 5 - as said above, the best tds around
    street fighter 2 - 3 - good old fashioned fun
    ultimate mortal kombat 3 - 4 - coz i love mk3
    turtles arcade - 2 - good for a playthrough based on nostalgia
    worms - 4 - for some reason i havent play it anywhere near enough
    geometry wars - 4 - insane fun


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,221 ✭✭✭RobertFoster


    I'm too tight to buy points, so I've only got the 3 freebies:

    Hexic HD - 4 - Very enjoyable. Took me a while to get into (literally months), and it's probably not everyone's cup of tea.
    Carcassonne - 4 - Great for a freebie. I don't think I would've bought it otherwise though. Multiplayer was alright. Music becomes terrible after a while.
    Undertow - 1 - Yuck. So boring.


    I've been meaning to get N+ and Braid at some stage. I think I'll wait and see what N+ is like on the DS first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,288 ✭✭✭✭ntlbell


    The lack of SF II is very disturbing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,625 ✭✭✭Fol20
