Im really suprised by how many good arcade games the 360 has. Those are the next 2 games I plan on getting, but which should come first? Im leaning towards Mark of the Ninja.

I was going to get Castle Crashers, but the ps3 version has extra content with it, and free online of course so Im going get it on ps3.

Both awesome and excellent choices. I liked MotN a little more...the stealth elements are implemented flawlessly. white_sox
Ya, I think Ill go with that first. Both look great, liked the demos of both.

Mark of the Ninja if you love stealth. Bastion if you love hardcore old-school. Both if you can afford it.

I want to get both, but im going to get Castle Crashers on ps3 and Mark of the Ninja on 360. Thats $40 for those 2 games alone, and I wont have enough left over $$ or mcsft points leftover to buy anything else. But o well, both are great games.

My advice....if you can't get all 3 games. Skip Castle Crashers and get both Bastion and MotN. CC is a good game, but it gets old quickly, even playing with friends. Bastion and MotN are in a whole different league.

I am shocked at this statement! Not really, but for me, CC still hasn't gotten old (and I have one character maxed, working on my second). I keep finding myself jumping back in to play a level or two.

Ya CC seems like a game I could go back to and play over from time to time. 

Im going to end up buying all 3, but buying cards at Gamestop are expensive. Buying the 3 least expensive cards would be $60. I will be getting all 3 games for sure tho. I need 1 for ps3, CC, and Mark of the Ninja for the xbox. Ill get Bastion next paycheck. Thanks for the reponses.

Buy both because boh games are great. I'm leaning more on Mark of the Ninja, if you want some brutallity and choosing paths on for your ninja.

Bastion has a good classic feel to it, and Mark of the Ninja has maybe the best stealth ever...can't go wrong with either.

Haven't played Mark of the Ninja (though judging by this thread I should take a look at it), but I thoroughly enjoyed Bastion.

Buy both at some stage, seriously.

They're both equally brilliant in their own ways. Bastion has one of the best soundtracks this generation, all composed by one man, Darren Korb.

Mark of the Ninja revived, for me, an interest in the long-dead stealth genre. It's a marvel.

Probably my two favourite XBLA games.

If you can stand to wait games always go on sale.. I never played the ninja one, but Bastian is one of my fav arcade games ever. It's a really unique way to tell a story.

Easily the best games on XBLA/PSN. That's a really hard question. I guess it depends on if you like stealth games or not. Both have great atmosphere and are fun to play. Maybe Bastion wins out because of the music and voice acting.
