Can anyone recommend a good XBLA game? One that isn't too much of a commitment but has a bit of replay value? I picked up Portal last year and have played it more than any full priced game I've played in a long time. Cheers.

Peggle, man.

Geometry Wars 2, no question (if you like arcade shooters).

Gotta agree on both these, Peggle is like cocaine mixed with heroin served on bacon levels of addictive properties. Geometry Wars 2 is great for a quick 2-3 minute blast of action if your bored.

Braid, Peggle, Castle Crashers, Dishwasher.

Peggle and Geometry Wars 2 are the bee's knees

The others suggested here are very good too though.

Texas Hold 'Em FTW

Peggle
N+ (got it for the DS and it's really good, rage inducing at times though)
Sonic 1/2
Geometry Wars 1/2
Marble Blast Ultra
Uno

Hexic
Heavy Weapon
Texas Hold 'Em

N+ is a definite.

Just be sure to record yourself as you are playing it and upload the most "rage-out" bits to Youtube

I'm going to presume it was just so obvious that it didn't need to be said...

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, why for the love of Dracula, has nobody said Castlevania yet??? :eek:

Touche!

Now that is by far the best game on Xboxlive Arcade. What a phenomenal game.

Also, might I reccomend some Xbox Classics? They're about the same price and there are some gems there. In particular, Black and Psychonauts. Farenheight is also well worth a go.
