ive just bought 2100 MS points and im gunna buy a couple of arcade games off XBL , i wondered what ppl consider the best games on there ? im looking for some multiplayer games both over live and locally

I think i'll get worms now , anything else i should get ?
 
I tried the trial of pacman CE the other day. Never been a fan of boring pacman remakes but this one is really fast and intense, i've been considering buying it!

Geometry wars is probably my most played arcade game, cant beat it.
 
Worms is good if your a fan, im spending most my time on it atm, though its not up to the PC version.

Ive just been going through a load of trials to decide what to buy (which is def the best way as some I was going to buy im now glad I tried first), My fav is Heavy Weapon, great fun :)

Everyone seems to love Gwars too and its only 400 points :)

From my experience these last few days I would recommend trying anything first. Ive created a separate silver live account for trying trials as they clutter up your games list otherwise ;)

Street fighter 2, that damn tank game that I can never remember the name of, geometry wars.

Might not be worth getting SF2 until the new version comes out with the redrawn HD graphics.
 
Personally I think the best arcade games are Marble Blast Ultra, Geometry Wars and Zuma. Not really the best in terms of multiplayer though.
 
Zuma is a great but frustrating puzzle game.
Texas Hold 'Em poker is great fun late at night.
Uno is good but limited.
Marble Blaster Ultra is great, but hard!

Gonna buy the Mini 3D golf game soon I reckon :)
 
looks like a lot of votes for geometry wars , think i'll get that then cheers guys :)
 
I love Carcassonne. I have been playing it non-stop for the last week practically. I bought that, Catan and Prince of Persia Classic which has its annoying moments to say the least.

***, excellent game with surprisingly fun multiplayer. Other than that Geo Wars is a must have, Castlevania is brilliant, Catan is great if you have a few mates to play with.

It is very good, although I'm still learning how to play effectively. I'm really looking forward to the expansion packs that will be released for it.
