    I have 500 Microsoft Points left. What should I purchase with them? Have already downloaded Worms and Fable 1.

    get the demos first, i did and am glad i purchased neither, in my opinion arcade games are a waste of space, you could rent movies with them!

    I'm a huge fan of Worms, so didn't need to get the demo - also I'm enjoying Fable.

    What else might I be able to purchase? Any themes people can recommend?

    Not sure how much it is, but for an old school FPS experience, go with Doom.

    If that's to many points, Sonic or Golden Axe.

    I downloaded the demo of Doom recently actually. I'm very bemused at how you didn't actually have to aim. Just point at the wall, shoot, and the person standing 10 foot above you gets shot.

    But it still kicks ass.

    Ah, that was the old "pseudo" 3d system! It was a move up from Wolf 3d, which was level all the way through.

    But yes, Doom will forever kick ass! :D

    Ah yes, I must really track down Wolf 3d. Man, that game was great. I downloaded the demo of Duke Nukem 3D. It's brilliant, but not worth it to download the full version.

    I assume that's the new version of Duke 3d? I remember enjoying the old one, but playing it I always felt that I was somehow betraying my Doom sensibilities! :P

    It'd be great if they ported over the original Duke Nukem to the X-box and put it on the marketplace. It was one of the first games I had for my first PC (a Wang 386)!

    Yes, it was an easy game, but the nostalgia value of playing it would be through the roof! :D
