Anything worth buying on XBLA?

Shadow complex is excellent.
I've got the trial for the new lara croft game to try out,and the trial for shank as well. Then i'm either gonna buy one of them 2 or Limbo.

Lara Croft GOL
Shadow Complex
Trials HD
Bubble Bobble (for the old school)
Bomberman

I've ignored that one so far. Is it dungeon crawl/loot fest then? Sounds like I should check it out...

Yeah it's a lot of fun. I unlocked the full game almost instantly as it's my perfect type of game.

I would suggest BF1943. It's a slightly arcadey version of the Pacific maps from battlefield 1942, but is *very* addictive. Rifles, Tanks and shooting stuff. I absolutely love flying the planes, I usually consider a game a failure if I don't get hate mail from some adolescent American telling me I'm a 'noob' =)

Trials HD is my favourite XBLA game by a country mile. I've spent as much time on that as I have on most of my 'proper' games.

My other favourites have been Shadow Complex (just ace), Limbo (short but amazing) and Portal (ace again)

Three great shouts below:

Braid, a great puzzle/platformer. Some of the puzzles will leave you thinking for an age.

Shadow Complex, great value. Good longetivity and a lot of work has gone into it.

Portal, if you haven't already played it.

New Lara Croft game is pretty good. I bought it last night.

 

[Jono]

Just finished Limbo. Great game... ending had me stumped for a while, but not as annoying as a bit a short while before.

Speaking of short. I want more!

Plants Vs Zombies just came out. Tried out the demo and it seems to play excellently on Xbox.

Yes, I like the way the suns are "scooped up" by your cursor so you don't have to be too precise.

Loving it, great game. Upto near the end of level 4 now. A little master piece. Very expensive which put me off initially, but you get a lot of game for your money

 

[Wyrdo]

Ah you finally bought it Danny? Will have to check out the Live modes.

I was playing it all day yesterday, I found out no one could see me because my settings where on block all

Yeah we should do some co-op, I'm off work now until the 20th anyway.

I'm off work now until the 20th anyway.

 

[dannyjo22]

Then I'm only in for one night then off for 4 more

Just finished the adventure mode on plants v zombies. I love defence games but this is awesome. Song at the end of adventure mode is worth it for the laugh alone

Still masses of gameplay left in this even after finishing adventure mode.
