What should I pick up? The drop in price of Puzzle Quest is intriguing. I tried the demo for Golf: Tee it Up! and thought it was fun. What do you guys recommend?

Well I see you have Bomberman live which is great obviously! I like Puzzle Quest a lot. I'd say maybe save your points for the new games coming eventually like castle crashers and Braid, but I dunno when they'll be released. Try the schizoid demo if you haven't. That's pretty fun.

The newer golf game seems to be a good decision to me. I'm getting it once I get some points.

Doing a quick google search I've found september 30th for the release date, kinda far off eh. And you can completely play it solo, it's just probably funner to play with a friend.

The only problem with CC is that by the time september rolls around, I'll be knee deep in Accounting homework, and then theres all the crazy games coming out in the fall. NHL 09, Fallout 3 (my most anticipated title possibly ever), GoW2, etc. So I need something to hold me off for this slow slow summer.

I've been waiting for months on Bionic Commando Rearmed to appear on xbox arcade. I remember playing the 8 bit NES game.

If you haven't tried Castlevania: SOTN, I'd recommend that one. It's a steal at 800 points.

N+, Uno, Bomberman, geometry Wars, Poker Smash, Metal Slug 3, Ikaruga, Nraid, Castle Crashers or whatever, Geometry Wars 2, Portal still alive, Galaga come out in the summer some time. Thats what a guy in a video said. These are the best games in the arcade IMO

If you don't have Alien Hominid then you should get that......I would say others but that would take a little too long even though I could of told what they were if I wouldn't of typed this sentence.

I Recommend N+ or Schizoid (sp?) these games are godly at co-op and single player , just try them.

Pacman Championship Edition is crazy fun. And pretty trippy too. As is Geometry Wars. Those are my two favorite Arcade games right now.

If you don't already own N+, i'd go for that. That's really the only live arcade game i still play.

Heh, I got to a point with N+ where I couldn't beat the rest of the levels. It got frustrating and I stopped.

Ikaruga is a good pick if you enjoy arcade shooters. It gets pretty tough sometimes but theres an option for infinite continues! Just dont expect to get too many of its achievements unless youre really good at those kinds of games!

I just bought 1943: Joint Strike and so far I'm really liking it. I was also thinking about picking up the Go! Go! Break Steady. I played the demo and it was a lot of fun. Here's a list of what I think is worth the points:

Prince of Persia

Puzzle Quest

Tetris Splash

Zuma

Aces of the Galaxy

Lumines (if you haven't already played it on the PSP)

Streets of Rage

Westside Story

Chocolat

:P
