New to XBL Marketplace--Questions

[asianxcore]

I am just getting on Xbox Live and have a couple simple questions.

1. I am downloading Geometry Wars: Evolved. Is there is anything else worth downloading/using points on? I bought a 1600 point card.

2. I am using the free Silver Membership that came with my purchase of the Premium 360. Will it run out after 30 days, or after 30 will I have to call Microsoft to make sure I am not paying any kind of other fees/subscriptions afterwards.

Thanks!

silver is free forever, gold however isnt, and assuming you put a credit card in when you signed up, then you have to cancel before the 30 ends

I didn't put in a credit card, I just chose the "Silver Membership..$0.00" when I was prompted. So do I have anything to worry about?

no

awesome. thanks.

now to the first question, what else is worth downloading on the XBLA? I have Geometry Wars: Evolved now.

maybe some themes or gamer pics, marble blast ultra is good, as is wik: fable of souls. i know some people who liked bankshot billiards(which just got an update and is now 3D instead of 2D like old-school virtua pool)

I definately recommend, Bankshot Billiards if you like pool. Marble Blast is awesome. Or wait a month or so for upcoming games, like Street Fighter and Hoopworld.

All shittin aside, if I were to chose two games that I would never ever buy it's Bankshot and Wiki.

Pick up Gauntlet and Marble Blast.

Never buy themes or gamer pics. Whats the point? I mean, who needs a pic next to their name? It's like having a big ass sig on a message board, unnesessary.

thanks for the recommendations. how are Zuma and Mutant Storm?

Zuma is gay, if that's the kinda shit you like get Bejewled. Mutant Storm is too hard to be any fun. I bought it when it came out at launch and it's just too hard to be any fun.

Marble Blast Ultra, Geometry Wars: Evolved and AstroPop are the only arcade titles worth the points.

OP:

Honestly, the best thing you can do is download the demos and decide for yourself what's worth getting...I mean, that's what they're there for, right?

IMO Zuma > Bejeweled.

OP your best bet would be to dl the demos and buy the ones you find the most fun ;)

thanks, I forgot you can download those free trials.
