Good XBL Arcade games?

Gamer_T · 25 Sep 2009 at 12:04

Hi guys,

I have some spare XBL Points and I'm wondering what arcade games I should purchase. I've just bought Trials HD which is great fun but I'd prefer something that's online.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Online you say...

Battlefield 1943, Bomberman Live!, Worms 2: Armageddon?

Shadow Complex

Shadow Complex, as great as it is, isn't really an online game, apart from some limited leaderboard functionality. I presumed he meant online as in multiplayer.

Thanks for the replys guys.

Giving Shadow Complex a download now, oh and I meant any arcade game really, but I'd prefer online.

I forgot about BF1942, last time when I was in a trial game there only seemed to be 4 people each side, if I unlocked the full game is it a bit more active?

Cheers

BF1943 is very active, its a great game.

I really hope they release more maps for it, its a potential gold mine.

Sorry, completely missed the online request

I'd say give BF1943 a try then.

Shadow complex and Geometry Wars 2 are the only one's I've bought.

Gamer_T · 25 Sep 2009 at 12:53

I bought BF1942, great fun! Have enough for one more now though, not sure if Shadow Complex is something I could get in to.

Shadow Complex and Braid are musts imo. Two of the best games on the xbox, ignoring the XBLA branding.

Shamikebab · 25 Sep 2009 at 13:04

I'm still trying to be patient and wait for Shadow Complex to be the deal of the week

Castle Crashers
Sonic 2,3,S&K
Worms 2: Armageddon

I played the Trials HD demo and it is so awesome, will get this soon i think just need to buy some MS points!

The best thing to do is see what games take your fancy and then download the demo

1943
worms 2

KiTBoH · 25 Sep 2009 at 14:55

Splosion man is pretty damn good, bf1943 also

BenjiSayers · 25 Sep 2009 at 14:59

1943
Castle Crashers
Peggle
Zuma

Shadow Complex is good but I regret not waiting for it to be on deal of the week as I can't see myself going back to it now i've finished it.

Castle Crashers looks.... interesting!

Can you matchmake with it or do you have to play with friends only?

Either I think.

It's at its best when you've got 4 people sat in front of one TV with a few beers though.

I'm thinking the same about that Zombie Apocalypse that came out, bit average maybe but zombies + beer + 4 player co-op can only be fun!
