Hello Gamers!

So I have a 360 obviously and lately I've been getting into the XBL arcade games. I held off for so long for some reason then a few weeks ago I downloaded Shadow Complex on a whim and holy mother mary jesus and baby jesus is that game freaking amazing. Since then I've grabbed Limbo and Torchlight.

My question is this. What's good, what do you guys like, what should I avoid at all cost? I'm sort of thinking about getting the newest Castlevania, maybe Braid. I haven't played any of them mind you. I feel like I can't trust official corporate game sites for accurate info, so I'm bringing my inquiries here. Should I bother with Puzzle Quest? What about Geometry Wars? I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff, I am in your care.

Me and my roommates like to play Castle Crashers. It has a SHIT TON of weapons, animals (you'll understand if you play), and characters you can get, and then an insane mode (which is all but impossible). We have been tearing that game up for a few weeks. I highly suggest it.

I bought Braid and LIMBO both good games but I think a bit over rated. Others love them though so give the demos a go.

Play the trial. Arcade games have a trial version which you can unlock to the full version if you purchase it. GW is fun though.

You should think about Perfect Dark or Marvel vs Capcom 2 if you haven't played those games.

Zombie Apocalypse is also fun.

The second Geometry Wars has more modes and what not.

Thanks Dudes. It's good to hear it from people who've played some of these. I just snatched up Symphony of the Night (already knew that was good) and I decided to play Beyond Good and Evil HD (never played it back in the day). I realize both are old games, that came out on older consoles, but you know.

Puzzle Quest interests me. I was looking at the screens for number 2 and it seemed intriguing.

I've played Castle Crashers and Scott Pilgrim on the PSN at a friends house. I think I might have to get CC as it's fairly addicting. I also used to have Marvel vs Capcom 2 on ps2. That game is amazing. I also have the new one but I'm not as into it... I think it's because I don't have the same roommates I used to, so that may be part of it. Nothing better then playing a fighting game with friends in the same room. Talking shit over the headsets just isn't the same. Plus where's my B.B. Hood and Venom?

I'll probably be picking up Castlevania HD soon as well (before the 9th) So many games, it feels like Christmas.

Make sure it is one where you think you could play the same levels over and over(6 levels without the extras, with takes it to 11 total I think). After you beat it on normal you unlock hard mode. Most the awesome armor weapons are dropped/found on hard. I have yet to beat the main boss :/

Game was designed for multiplayer for sure. Let me know if you want to co-op when/if you get it.

Pants VS Zombies! I love that game. ^^

Garyuu · 05-08-2011, 05:37 PM

Is that the sequel? That's pretty creative. I would have never thought to fight zombies with my pants.
