Nice releases, but I'm waiting for Braid and Castle Crashers.

This is a good set of releases for XBLA this week though people, just because they don't appeal to you doesn't mean they're worthless releases.

if it were honestly hurting the game sales, they would lower the prices. so its obviously not hurting them at all

Why dont they make 400 ms point games anymore. Alot of these new games dont seem worth 800 points. That could be hurting some of these games sales also.

Also as in for shooters, I could not remember the game's name for nothing, but a friend helped me by looking up the company Apogee, but actually the game was made by Epic. That game is called Tyrian. It's still up for download to this day. I have not played this game in over a decade, check it out at:

www.dosgamesonline.com/.../Tyrian.html

This game would be AWESOME on Xbox Live (2 Player Online), just look at the reviews, better yet, download and play it now!

Click the Epic.com link and I DARE you to check out the Jazz Jackrabbit series. PC-colored pixels never looked so great!

Simple, old school, but fun like no other!

I'm not skitch'in or complaining about the latest XBLA game release. My system is FINALLY on its way back to me since July 14, 2008 (after 2 hours of play ALL CD ROM-based and Xbox360 HDD-based games would crash - including DVDs), and I also sent it in in early June 2008 for Red Rings. But in the mean time (while it worked / works), this give me a chance to get some achievements on some arcade games I've already purchased, such as:

Boom Boom Rocket

Street Fighter II' HF

Sonic The Hedgehog 2

Bankshot Billiards 2

Ultimate MK3

DOOM

Aegis Wing (Free)

Poker Smash

Street Trace:NYC

And quite a few more. Now only if my Xbox360 will function long enough for my to play without biting my tongue out because it decided to crash when I'm made it really far and 3 seconds before the save point or the achievement unlocks.

There are loads of games to play - ask a friend to recommend you one. My friends send me games I may or may not be interested all the time. But until an original game that appeals to me is put up, I'm buying a few Rock Band songs (keyword: few).

I'm really interested in 1942 but I'm really concerned in the new "standard" price of 800 points for everything....

1942 is a good release, but I'm still waiting for any news about Talisman...

I am so sick of seeing people instantly respond to the announcement of each week's games as "more crap." Personally, I will wait until I play the newest games to make judgement and have been so far impressed by one of the two games most weeks and tend to buy two of the new games each month after playing demos. Ticket to Ride has been a fantastic purchase and has kept me and my gf entertained for weeks now. 1942 looks awesome and the beat/puzzle game that is this week looks interesting enough and I will try the demo.

For people complaining about XBLA titles, Geometry Wars 2, Castle Crashers, Galaga Legions, Braid, and Lode Runner have all been confirmed to come out within the next 4-6 weeks. If that lineup doesn't have you extremely excited, well, then XBLA isn't for you.

only thing I am waiting for is feeding frenzy 2 because the wife has been wanting to play it and I would rather play 10 bux for xbl version and get achievements vs. 10 bux for the pc and not get them
