Any good? Some are. Surely you know how good Contra is!

Any crap? Some are.

Should you bother? Em, it's up to you. If you want to play Contra again, sure why not. I bought Geometry wars and loved it, worth every penny, have not bought anything else though.

Are you just bored and wanting to spend money? Perhaps, but what's wrong with that, especially when you will be rewarded with overcoming your boredom for a few euro.

My fave arcade game so far was Cloning Clyde. Very fun and intuitive game from an independant games company. You can download demos of every arcade game and try them before you buy. This should help you decide which games are worth downloading

Get Geometry Wars

easily the best, and a steal at 400 points

Geometry wars ?interesting .Just checked ign and basicly said that contra is broken but its an old review and they said there was a patch to fix it .iv also seen Street Fighter in a lot of peoples Gamer Tags ..im have to buy one of them .

i bought geomrty wars really good buy and thinking about small arms

Riesen_Meal

I got small arms,

Tis great for some 4 player Super Smash Bros style antics, and marble madness or whatever its called is a great lil game.....

Geometry Wars is indeed very good. I have Vol 1 of the hits, and so far I have only played that and Wix of Tix or something like that which wasnt very good.
Play the UNO demo too. I thought folk were mad for raving about this, but damn is it the best computerised card game around.

I got street fighter and I regret getting it. Waste of 800 points. The A.I difficulty is cheap and ridiculously hard. It was nothing like that on the Snes. Online is crap as well.... prepare for being called a f***kin noob if pick bison, honda, chun li, dhalsim etc. Also lots of people leave you bad rep for beating them or beat you by using the same move over and over again

I played the demo of geometry wars and while I thought it was ok, I dont see the fuss about it. Didnt make me want to buy it anyway. Uno is pretty good for multiplayer

I've heard Marble Blast Ultra is a great game. I wish I got that instead of SF2. Few friends have it and they all love it. I quite liked the demo too and hear the single and multiplayer are both very good

Gonzo

agreed on Street Fighter 2 on the 360 being totall rubbish, its hard as nails... loved the snes version too...

Was just playing Outpost Kaloki X there and was impressed. Unique is the word. Alternative management game with a very interesting, Katamari-esque art style. Give it a whirl.

Kenny_D

Yeah actually I've heard a lot of good things about Kaloki. Must get the demo

TheDoc

texas holdem poker...well worth it, the single player AI is sometimes lame and they are easily pushed outa pots.


but online, sure its poker =D

Sorry, I couldn't help it.


I got some space station puzzle game. It's not the greatest of games, but had me hooked playing it for about 5 hours one night. I'll have to try and remember the name of it.

Riesen_Meal

Aye thats Outpost Kaloki X I think its called, never had the time for it,I do like cloning clyde though, im a die-hard Sf2 head so I loved having it on 360, it was grand online once they released the patch for it..... (typical m$)

I didn't think much of the Street Fighter 2 port based on the trial I played.

Ultimate Mortal Kombat seems fantastic though. Pity its UMK3 and not Mortal Kombat II

RAIN

Got Geometry wars Its savage .some peoples high scores are extreme f**k me

Julez

Texas hold em online is a good one... Geometry wars too!
