Worms is probably one of my favorite arcade games.

 

[PrarieD0G]

Worms. Fun to play with friends.

 

[Mr. Anderson]

Marble Blast Ultra is a great game.

 

[MrNEWZ]

Outside of games found on the PopCap or XBLA or Namco discs (or even the SEGA disc, even though there are no achievements)... I'd recommend TMNT or Worms

[quote name='nnthomas']TMNT Arcade, yeeeee[/QUOTE]

Don't really even need any posts after this one.

 

[kevlar51]

also have to throw Small Arms out there, if you're a fan of Smash Bros.

 

[Hydro2Oxide]

Marble Blast Ultra is exceptionally fun and original.

Small Arms is very smash bro'sy as kevlar says so I can recommend that one as well.

Undertow is also 5 bucks at Amazon right now, Battlefield series meets sidescroller.

 

[Corvin]

I'll second and third Uno & Worms, and toss out Zuma. It doesn't have any online play but has replay value in spades.

 

[KaneRobot]

TMNT Arcade
Doom
Geometry Wars
Smash TV
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3

 

[homeland]

If worms is only 400 pts.. thats ur answer.

 

[mtxbass1]

Play the demos of what everyone has suggested and decide from there. Pretty much everything mentioned so far is great. My personal vote goes to Uno or Zuma.

geometry wars

3 on 3 NHL is awesome

 

[cfootball1]

Just played the UFC demo, It's amazing!

 

[Xavin]

You should try ZP2K9, it's a community game from the people that made Dishwasher. It's 200 pts I believe.

 

[CoffeeEdge]

OP, ignore all of the other suggestions in this thread. Get Space Giraffe.

Enjoy having your mind expanded. You can thank me later.

It's cool. I've been playing his games for many years actually, all the way back to the original Zombie Smashers X, and he's always worked pretty much solo.

 

[BostonCollegeFan]

I'll have to be the sole person who throws my hat in for "Time Pilot". I loved it to death as a XBLA game.

 

[Xavin]

[quote name='CoffeeEdge']It's cool. I've been playing his games for many years actually, all the way back to the original Zombie Smashers X, and he's always worked pretty much solo.[/quote]
Yeah, I love his games, I had just forgotten x.x

 

[budz]

The only 400 game I have is Uno. That'll be my bet if you don't have it yet.

 

[budz]

I just got Peggle. ing addictive! Thank goodness I still have money left for the Fable "See the Future" pack. BTW: Does anyone know the exact date when that pack comes out? Thanks!

Nice.


So no Space Invaders as I had hoped this week, but we still get Virtual On and Banjo-Tooie.

 

[thrustbucket]

If undertow is $5 then get either that or space giraffe.

 

[gareman]

Why can't my girlfriend play my arcade games on under her gamertag on my 360? Does it have something to do with her gamertag maybe not being associated with the xbox? If so can she correct this online?

sorry didn't want a to start a new thread just for this question.

 

[LinkinPrime]

You should be able to do the migration thing that's on XBOX.com...I don't have access to the site at the moment but that should take care of it...of she can have you signed in on a second controller, even if you're idle she'll have access.

XBLA This Wednesday:

Arkanoid Live
Space Invaders Extreme
Zombie Wranglers

All are 800pts each.

 

[fart_bubble]

Gunstar Heroes got put up on the xbox site

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/g/gunstarheroesxboxlivearcade/

hope this means that this will be out soon. I hope they don't screw up online multiplayer

 

[LinkinPrime]

Yes!

Well, I guess there's no such thing as good timing for that to happen.

 

[James1221]

buy it online threw xbox.com while it is onsale, and when you get your box back it will start downloading. ALL IS NOT LOST!

Awesome, I'll definitely re-buy (got it on the Wii VC a while ago) if the online co-op isn't broken.

 

[Danimal]

[quote name='James1221']buy it online threw xbox.com while it is onsale, and when you get your box back it will start downloading. ALL IS NOT LOST![/QUOTE]On sale? Are the 800 point prices on these games only temporary or something?

 

[orbit18]

i got these two 1 month xbl cards from repairing my xbox a few times, and i just remembered i had them. However I'm wondering when they expire cause they don't have an expiration date. Anyone know anything about them?

 

[JJSP]

They don't expire.

 

[fart_bubble]

looks like that new Rainbow Islands game is also getting a XBLA release

http://www.gamerbytes.com/2009/05/rainbow_islands_towering_adven.php

 

[fart_bubble]

so I guess its Star Trek and Texas Cheat'em for this week's releases. I'm curious about both of them myeslf, I'm wondering how much Star Trek is going to play like Battlestar Galactica and I'm curious about how the cheating mechanics work in Texas Cheat'em.

Star Trek has a 800 point release. No idea on the other game though I would be surprised if its more than 800 as well

 

[fart_bubble]

this looks like this could be pretty cool

[ratzombie]

Looks pretty cool, combat looks a little shallow though.

I saw that yesterday as well...I love the look, and I know it's in very early stages but it looks great so far.

 

[fart_bubble]

[quote name='yukine']Looks pretty cool, combat looks a little shallow though.[/QUOTE]

yeah, its pretty early in the development stages so far.

and Beware of the Ska Robot Army!

 

[SmurfALMIGHTY]

I didn't care much for star trek but I actually enjoyed texas cheat em and i'm not much of a fan for card games.

 

[KingBroly]

There's a Crackdown Premium theme on Xbox Live now. They couldn't be more obvious about Crackdown 2 coming, could they?

I wish I could find something on the marketplace for 120 points...or at least get another 200 points so I could buy a stupid SFIV costume pack. Or 600 points and get that and the RE5 Versus Mode.

 

[D4rkewolfe]

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 - Theme and Gamer Pictures

There is also a gamer picture registration for a play and win dealing with Halo 3.

 

[fart_bubble]

If true, The Ship coming to the arcade would be pretty sweet. I've always wanted to check it out but my puter isn't capable of playing it

 

[fart_bubble]

This week's releases are:

Gel: Set & Match from the people behind Small arms

and something called Blazing Birds (no page on the Xbox site yet)
"Compete in the sport of robot Badminton. Challenge sixty computer controlled opponents over three levels of difficulty. Invite your friends to play multiplayer matches or Round Robin tournaments with up to twenty players. The unique control scheme allows for blazing fast action and responsive control. Score points using a variety of shots such as “smash”, “drop”, and “clear” using either manual or automatic aiming. Unleash seven deadly power shots including “Meteor Strike”, “Firecracker”, “Hyperspace”, “Lightning Bolt”, “Dragon Flight”, “Hunting Season”, and “Wormhole”. Only the best will face Signum IV."


Both are being released at 800 points each

 

[LinkinPrime]

Wow, those came out of no where. Gel: Set & Match seems interesting, I'd love to give Blazing Birds a shot as well.

 

[fart_bubble]

I knew about Gel coming out but Blazing Birds snuck up on me. Its one of the co 2007 Dream-Build-Play winners (this and Dishwasher Samurai won the contest)

some screenshots from 2007 (from Joystiq)

edit:
so that makes only Gravitron Ultra that hasn't been released in the games that placed in 2007 (Yo Ho Kablammo! got released a couple of days ago in the Community Games section under the title Dock'Em or at least I think thats the same game. Shit looks identical)
