XBOX Live Arcade

Who else has downloaded XBLA games?

I have Hexic(came with console), Geometry Wars(fvckin awesome), Spades(Dad plays it), and Marble Blast.

I wish I could download those games, but I don't have a 360..... yet.

Hmmm wonder why....

the idea of playing 8-bit games on a next gen console just doesnt make sense to me.

8 bit? Have you even looked at the games? 😛

Dude, the graphics of these Arcade games are great, and challenging to.

They are fun to have when you are bored, but don't feel like playing one of your discs.

does this do credit for the arcade games or only stress the ridculous lack of any good games for the 360 at the moment. all i like at the moment is call of duty 2, but i already beat it on veteran and they really screwed up the multiplayer option.

but alas, fight night 3 arrives in the mail tomorrow and soon after ghost recon and then soon blazing angels. hopefully i will be saturated in hi-res gaming goodness to even think about downloading arcade games.

btw, i played the geometry wars trial version and i really didnt like it. even back in the 80s i sucked at that type of game. pacman, donkey kong, space invaders, centipede...i sucked at them all. something about those games where i can never get in "the zone".

And every game is XBL compatible with either leaderboards or full on multiplayer. 😄

I'd have to say it's that or 32 😕

Marble blast is 32 😮

Nah, the other games has to be greater than 32, isnt GBA 32?

Geometry wars is the shit ! 🤘

Geometry Wars has to be over 32 bit. The animation is so smooth.

Anyone else download Uno? Uno rocks. 😎

well lets see. are you talking about bit as in the processor type or the video memory? cause if it's processor, i doubt some are 64...but if you mean video, yeah im sure a few are 64

Wonder why this thread isn't more active...

Anyway anyone got any good recommendations for the Arcade?

I just downloaded a few Trial Games, and then one I liked the most is the Switchball, it's pretty much a 3D version of the game where you try to balance a ball through a maze, however when you zoom all the way in you can really notice the attention to details, plus the physics seems pretty great.

I've not bought any Arcade games yet, only tested trials, but this one and Prince of Persia are definitely on my top "should buy some day", as well as Geometry Wars.

I havent downloaded an arcade games in a long time. I want to see some more classics released, id kill for Perfect Dark with Live multiplayer. 😛

Marble blast ultra
3D Ultra Minigolf
Frogger
Doom
Hexic HD (because it comes with the console.)

I've only DL'ed Doom, TMMT and Worms.

That'd be awesome.

I haven't downloaded anything yet, I probably will this weekend though...I know I want Hexic, Prince of Persia, and Puzzle Quest (even though I own it for the DS already, I just can't play that game enough).
