Best Arcade Games?

I'm looking at Castlevania: Symphony of the Night's remake (never got to play the original), Mr. Driller Online and maybe Fable 2: Pub Games since I will be getting Fable 2. I have heard good things about Rez HD, though I dont know what it would be like, and Contra/Super Contra could be fun with online play.

My question is:

1) What are those games like?

2) Do you actually get achievements and stuff for playing these? Cuz it seems as though you do.

3) How much space do some of them take up

4) What are some other 360 Arcade games you would recommend to someone?

You do know that every arcade game has a free trial version right?Englando_IV

1) I know Contra/Super Contra are great games(I owned the Original Super C - or Super Contra for the NES), but all XBOX Live Arcade games graphics are upgraded to Higher Definition, so u don't have to worry about as many(if none) jaggies

2) Yeah, pretty much all of the arcade games earn you achievements, and they are pretty easy to get, while some are challanging( Duke Nukem for example, the easiest Achievement is to get is "Step in a pile of Extrement" or Step in Crap, but the trickiest or time consuming is getting 500 kills on Dukematch)

3) Some of them only take up not even a gigabyte, like under 100 megabytes, i think

4) If you like FPSes, Duke Nukem 3D is the best one around, Doom is pretty good too. There are also Sonic 1 and Sonic 2, Gauntlet, Gradius, Super C, Marathon, Mega Man 9, Dig Dug, and so on(many classic arcade titles you'll love! I love them 'cause I'm an old school player).

The average price for a game is either 500 or 800 points.

How much money do you have for XBLA? If you're only willing to spend 10 bucks, then go for CV: SOTN, by far the best deal on XBLA and since you never played it you ought to. If you want another great game, Castle Crashers is really fun as well.

I haven't played any of the games you have listed but I have about 9 or 10 arcade games and I've easily played Castle Crashers more than the rest of them combined. It's a great game for its price. I would also recommend Braid, I played the demo but don't have the funds at this moment for the full version.

Also, don't buy the Pub games before the release of Fable 2 since they come with the game when you buy it. It's only a week until the release... (wow, I like saying that...)

I reccomend Geometry Wars 2. Easy points, lots of fun too.

I would not reccomend Doom, or Duke Nukem. They are both bad remakes, though Streets of Rage 2 is pretty good.

Duke Nukem isn't all that bad really. The one reasong I got it because I can't play it on my PC anymore for some reason(It opens and plays. But the video doesn't come through for some reason)
