    Tried Braid and didnt really like it.

    Secret of Monkey Island special edition is a great remake of a classic game.
    Rez HD is also a very cool game if a bit short.
    Bionic Commando Rearmed is a fantastic HD overhaul of an old nes game
    Ikaruga is a great scrolling shooter but VERY hard
    Castlvania Symphony of the Night is really good also, a port of a great PS1 game

    They'd be my recommendations

    Was going to recommend Shadow Complex. Great game. But since you have it try Castle Crashers or Zuma. I find Zuma as addictive as Tetris. :D

    splosion man is a pretty good game, 100 levels (50 single player, 50 coop) of sploding puzzle solving.

    Can't recommend Castlevania: Symphony of the Night enough. If you liked Shadow Complex you'll love it.

    Battlefield 1943 has really stood the test of time for me anyway.

    Bomberman Live

    I heard (on the Major Nelson podcast) that Splosion Man is supposed to be half-price either this week or next (the week starting 01-Feb) for Gold Live Members ... one of the MS Deal of the Week jobbies. It should be well worth it for 400 Points.
