Xbox Live Arcade Games

[Dumbledore lives]

For christmas I got a gift of 3000 Microsoft points and I was wondering what arcade games people suggest. The ones I have are Banjo Kazooie, Small Arms, Undertow, Smash TV, Castlevania SOTN, and Gauntlet, and Carcassonne. Some of these were free though. Almost any game is fine, and I was thinking about Street Fighter II: The long subtitle, or possibly some of the old Xbox games.

So Playground, what should I buy?

Puzzle Quest is a damn fun game, so I'll recommend that.

puzzle quest
Worms
Ticket to ride
Catan
A kingdom for kiflings(not sure how to spell)
Castle Crashers.

The thing about Worms is I've got Worms 2 for the PC, and there is only about 12 weapons in that Worms, definitely not enough. My friend has bought Kingdom for Kiflings or whatever and says it doesn't have much replay value and got bored after about 3 hours. Castle crashers seems fun but almost none of my friends have it. Also what is that Ticket to Ride game?

Geometry Wars? Braid?

[SuperMuldoon]

Castle Crashers

Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix

Psychonauts

Puzzle Quest

This. Everyone should play Braid. IMHO, it's the Portal of the year.

I also found a really interesting game in the Community section. I can't remember the name, but you play as a monster in a pit. You're completely unable to see anything (the entire screen is dark the entire time). So you have to use sound to orient yourself and hunt down people who fall into the pit. It was kinda cool.

Yeah. I haven't gotten my Xbox 360 yet, but I reiterate... BRAID! It's like Portal, it's just that damned important.

[Myatar_Panwar]

Man, how could I have forgotten about braid. Yeah get that too. My big three recommendations (for what its worth):
1. Braid
2. Puzzle Quest
3. Geometry Wars

ticket to ride is a popular board games where you build railroad systems to win it has been converted to a xbox live arcade game.

Well I bought Catan because I played it and it was fun and I'd heard a lot of good things about the board game, and now i''m planning to buy Braid, and one other 800 point game, and one other 400 point game. I'm thinking Geometry Wars which is 800? And I don't know what for the 400 point one. Any suggestions

[Inhuman Bot]

IMO, Geomatry wars is teh win, so I'll confirm it's awesome.

No other ideas, though.
