TheDean said:Hi all,
Just bought my XBox 360 yesterday and got myself a 12 month subscription to XBox live. Just wondering what the best games are on Live arcade?
I have 2100 points to spend - Suggest away
My favourite 3:-
Geometry Wars
Jetpac Refuelled
Boom Boom Rocket

Hehe, I think it simply frightened you too much to play it.
In the old thread (linked earlier) you were about the only person who did not like it
I've almost finished it - at the boss battle. I've really enjoyed it and it has creeped the **** out of me all the way through.
I'm not going to get every achievement because there is not much chance of me playing the whole thing without using a gun once.
I think I'll get all bar one or two achievements though.
I'm not all that impressed by the arcade games, can't really see why some of them are worth buying :\
Although, I did download the demos for Gauntlet and Paperboy, only because I have fond memories of both when I was younger. Though Gauntlet doesn't seem as much fun as I remembered

Same, i downloaded loads of them and couldnt be bothered playing the vast majority of them any more than the first level. The only one i have done is Doom which i bought and i was gutted that there were no live games of it, was looking forward to it

I didnt use a gun, i also found every weapon, but the game is a git with glitching achievements and i cba to replay a few levels to get the last 2

I did get all 970/970 and aye there were a few glitches re. collection achievements. If I remember correctly if you do a level again even though you've already completed and collected everything if you don't collect everything again it over writes the save saying you've only collected 2/6 etc.
Great game though!
Used to love that game, god knows why 
Seemed such an appropriate date to get it done.
Castlevania is hands down the live arcade game with the most substance and bang for buck. Hell, I'd even go as far as to say it's in the top 5 360 games overall. Spent more hours on it than Gears of War, RS6 and Lost Planet. The art, the direction, the music and the gameplay was and still is ahead of its time.
