    hi,
    I'm just connected to Xbox live for the first time and I am browsing through the xbox live arcade games. All of them seem to have a trial version so I'm wondering what ones to go for - ie the most "complete" demo versions.

    I'll er buy some Microsoft points soon but something to sample in the meantime?

    Don't bother getting the demo, just buy the full version of Castlevania. It's up there with Super Metroid as the pinnacle of 2D gaming imo.

    double dragon and golden axe demo's are fairly long as old game demo's go. There are also some decent retail game demos, bioshock, fear games (play the demo's skip the full game), pgr4.

    I've played and finished SORN for the PSOne for I'll leave that. 10 euro seems a bit excessive for an emulated piece of code on my harddrive anyway.

    I thought that was free for the full version as well, at least I know I didn't pay for the full copy that I have.

    texas holdem was only free for like 3 days after that you had to pay for it if you hadnt already downloaded it by that stage, they should do that more often with games like that.

    As for opening an american account how easy or hard is that ?

    Do arcade demos still show up as 0 points on your gamercard or is that bug fixed since the latest update?
