Best XBLA game

[Zhukov]

Let's say I only have enough credits to download one Xbox Live Arcade game (because I do), what would you guys recommend?

I'm interested in a really good co-op shooter/beat em up, or just any great game in general.

What are your favourites?

I've already got Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid, and I could go something similar to that. I was thinking Either Metal Slug 3, Turtles in Time or Warhammer 40K: Kill Team. Ikaruga is also appealing.

Suggestions please.

My absolute favorite downloadable game is Shadow Complex. It's single player but for the price, you get a whole lot of exploring, shooting, and cool stuff going on. It's kind of set up like metroid in a way but it's awesome.

I love Guardian Heroes too. But you'd probably want to try it first since it's a Sega Saturn port and they messed with the art style a lot for it. It is multiplayer though.

I also love me some Trials HD, which is a really hard platformer type game using a motorcycle.

I loved the splosion man and ms. splosion man games. Although multiplayer on those is just too hard. And it's also a platformer.

Really, for any downloadable game I'd suggest trying the demo first to see if you like how the game plays.

If you don´t count Symphony of the night (because it IS the best XBLA-Game but it´s kinda unfair to count it and chances are, you already own it anyway if you have preserved yourself at least a splinter of sanity...)


The best original XBLA-Game would be Bastion imo. It´s really really good and worth every cent. What else...Shadow Complex, Toy Soldiers, Puzzle Quest 1 (NOT Galactrix or 2, those suck), Splosion Man...in terms of Indie games, go for Cthulhu saves the world and Miner dig deep.

I´d personally pass on Turtles in Time, simply because...well it´s not my thing. Metal Slug is always good. Kill Team is...supposedly pretty short. The demo was okay but not much more.


But let´s face it, you can´t do better than Symphony of the night. Which is why I prefer the PSN, there´s so many good old games available, I don´t even need new ones :D Buy things like the PE-Games, one or two Final Fantasy games, complemented with a bit of Breath of Fire and Suikoden, then walk over to GOG.com and spend 20 bucks on some games including Planescape Torment and you´re pretty much set for the next 10 years :D

Ca depend.

I like the Serious Sam games, From Dust is cool, Trenched (or whatever it's called now) is cool, and Costume Quest is a fun little thing.

Splosion Man and Ms. Splosion Man are classics, as is Shadow Complex.

Do indie games count? Prismatic Solid is the prettiest shooter and I think it's only 3 dollars.

Cheers dudes. Having some good times downloading demo and trying stuff out. I just needed to tell what was worth the few minutes it would take since you can't always tell from the title/screenshots.

I have a shitload of arcade games, but few of them are XBLA originals. TMNT Arcade, Streets of Rage 2, Golden Axe, Altered Beast, and shit like that are all fun, but a lot of those can be found on that Genesis Mega Collection and you likely won't find others playing them online anyway.

[Zhukov]

I'm more interested in originals. Downloading old games for money seems like a rip off to me.

Unless it's an old game that I never played, and it's not actually that old.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Super Meat Boy.

What is your game called again?

[Zhukov]

Chojin's Big Adventure.

[Fathom Zero]

Chojin's Biggest Burger

and I was going to do the man a solid and buy it regardless. But it looks fun and Jousty.
