Don't disagree with you there and I suppose the live 2 player stuff is a good enhancement, but the fact remains its still the same game you can get via MAME for nothing. If we keep buying this rehashed stuff they'll keep churning it out. I may be alone, but I want to see more new games through arcade!

I agree but SFII was well worth buying again just for the convenience really. I'd like to see more XNA games developed and sold on the Arcade.
 
The 50MB limit is there to allow gamers without a HDD (but with a MU) to be able to download games to the MU to play. Not gonna fit many game saves along side a 50MB game though!

Does anyone else think that there are actually NO games on Xbox live arcade that are worth shelling cash for?

Texas hold 'em is great :) as is Marble Blaster Ultra, well worth the cash :)

Outpost Kaloki X is a pretty good original. Its a shame that most of them are cheap nasty ports of decade old games. No way am I paying 1200 points for Worms. Its a hilariously fun party game but I seeing it being a 'tard nightmare on multiplayer.
 
Those achivements seem a bit cheap TBH, Back in the day I would have been able to get all those achivements on a Saturday afternoon*



*except for the xbox live game because xbox live did not exist at that time, I would have had to get some friends round
 
I quite liked Uno. Played that as a wind down before bed every night until Texas Hold-em came along.

Cloning Clyde was good too, keep meaning to get back to that one.

Geometry Wars obviously, great even though I'm rubbish at it. Got my highest ever score of 170k last night :o

As soon as I get some more points I'm going to buy Small Arms and Assault Heros. If Worms is 800 it will be bought. If its 1200.... not a 100% no but I'd need convincing I think.

I agree there has been some rubbish though and some things that I've bought thinking "That will be ace" after a single play of the demo and then played maybe once or twice since- SFII, Galaga, Crystal Quest, Mutant Storm Reloaded :o
 
Why do people moan so much about the price of XBLA games?

You think a tenner is way over priced for Worms in HD? Even though that is way less than the average selling price for the PS2, DS, PSP version? (And hopefully this version is miles better)

Some people just expect way too much, esp since it is not deffinate what the price is. :rolleyes:

For a new ish game it's not to bad, even though they have none of the shipping, shop, cd distribution costs. For those old games like defender etc they should be no more than 200 points. Its not like any real effort has gone into those like they do with cloning clyde, outpost kaloki.

I dont mind paying for originality, but some half screen old pap. 200 points.

I think you're being generous. I think some of those games are worth 50 points only. Pacman? No effort has been put into updating even a little.

On the other hand I would also agree that some of the games are worth the 1200 price point. Outpost Kaloki X, Marble Blast Ultra (both are 800 I think?) are two examples. I think Worms is worth 1200 personally, but I guess that's down to individual taste etc.

I would generally agree that XBLA is under used, and over priced. It's not a complete waste, but MS should really do better.

I think once the XNA stuff has been around for a year or so we should see some really good new, independent, original titles appearing.

I found the demo of geometry wars to be enough, never been tempted to buy the full game as I don't see what it offers over the demo :confused:

That depends on how good you are. If you hit the 4min time limit you will.

I always hit it, but I don't really see the need to pay more to have more time =/

Personally, the game only gets fun when the game gets hard. Besides, recording high scores alone is a big deal for me.

I also dont get why one year in the prices aren't slashed for older titles.

Yeah, I've been wondering if they are going to cut the prices. But I guess not - I reckon they're all 'fire and forget'.
