This game is actually kind of fun and entertaining. I like to play multi-player with my girlfriend.

I agree, Galaga Legions and AstroPop were a good start, but yes, they do need more good shooters. I've been hoping for Tyrian by Epic MegaGames back in the day. (www.dosgamesonline.com/.../Tyrian.html) I'm not sure how I had stumbled upon it, I think while looking for Jazz Jack Rabbit another game needed on XBLA.

looks like a carmen sandiego clone, I love it. This will be my first XBLA purchase in over a year :)

Warrengonline: Life Force is known as Salamander in the EU. I've not played the NES conversion, but I own the arcade PCB [I own Gradius PCB as well] :)

Both superb shooters. Konami released a remixed Gradius for the Wii download service. It is stunning if you're into that sort of thing. It's games like this that Xbox arcade needs IMHO.

More 800 point titles - whatever.

Really, raise your hand if 800 points for EVERYTHING now makes you SICK...

/raises hand

Nice to see Gears finally "fixing" itself - right, like they "fixed" the first GOW MP shotgun circlejerk. This is what I am tired of now. Half finished Multiplayer (BUT PLENTY OF OVERPRICED DLC!), "puzzle games", "indie games", "community games", and "casual games".

Let me guess - next week will be a puzzle game, or something with cute characters in it, or some magic indie game that the creator will complain about being not priced high enough...

...So then they price it at 1200 points and claim that their game "matters" at that price. Which is why I DO NOT OWN ANY PA GAMES and Geoff HAD TO GIVE ME BRAID FOR FREE IN ORDER FOR ME TO PLAY IT. Oh, and HOW LONG did it take to patch Castle Crashers? MONTHS? HALF A YEAR?

Games For Windows Live is more thrilling than the 360 right now. I honestly want achievements for the PC Street Fighter IV just so I do not have to play it on my 360. Thank the maker Capcom is going to save Spring for us with GOOD GAMES.

XBox 360 - But wait, do not forget the nearly 300 point Street Fighter pinball table, the 100 point level packs, and overpriced themes to replace the ones that WORKED FINE before this NXE rubbish.

We need games like Worms or bomberman

Interpol: The Trail of Dr. Chaos, interesting. Myst-like but 'easier'? (Now that I can actually see the screenshots - only high quality video works, low quality does not). My sis will love this for it is more her puzzle solving speed.

Though I do feel '[insert feeling]' (not sure of the word I feel 'slapped in the face'?), but THAT magnifying glass would have been SO USEFUL in Puzzle Arcade's 1000 Piece Classic Puzzle on EXPERT.

Wow, Point'n'Click is considered a non-gamer genre now? Really, this is something only kids or people who only pretend to be seasoned gamers would say. This does not mean the game couldn't be bad, but the comments on it here are just so full of prejudice and non-gamers calling one of the most classic genres of gaming non-game.

I have no problem with these kinds of games being released, I just wish (once again) that they would get to releasing multiple titles a week so that we all have a choice. I would love to see them release one classic arcade, one casual arcade, and one unique release a week. It would satisfy all and make for much happier sounding boards.

@rastansaga

Since you are a shooter fan (and I have not completed much digging) have you ever played Life Force on NES? Hmmm, just checked the wiki and it is actually on the PS1 as Salamander Deluxe Pack Plus. I never knew until now, but that is awesome, a 'possibility' of it coming to XBLA. Though I do not know how well it would stand up in current times.

@Anon 5 & Helvedeshunden

I want OutRunners Twin!! Its like the 'FUNNEST', non-realistic driving game I've ever played. www.weinerd.com/.../Outrunners%20main.JPG - THIS (version) is the ONLY racing game I'd EVER purchase a steering wheel and vibrating video game chair for! Daytona USA comes in a close 8th, but it is only fun in multiplayer to me.

Wow this is really bad. This is an old game as well. Some click and find game horrible! There are tons of those on website like reflexivearcade.com. Once youve played one of them youve seen them all...

Hope this isnt a trend because there is lots more *** games where this one comes from.

This game looks good, just not my type.

@ all the people complaining: YOU DONT HAVE TO BUY IT. believe it or not, some people enjoy these games.

And lol @ people thinking MajorNelson's blog comments represent XBL as a whole.

rastansaga: Xbox arcade is dying from lack of content and all this shovel-ware

Uhm, no. I don't think so.

It took man-years of work across three continents to give us the Summer of Arcade, and that's *5* phenomenal games. Don't tell me you're done with Street Fighter already?

If you can do more, and better, buy an XNA kit and get cracking. Otherwise, good day sir.
