Worms and Marble Blast Ultra are fun.

Castlevania is by far the best, I've already played it for 12+ hours and plan on playing many more.

Why even ask? Geometry Wars is the best indie game, and Castlevania is the best "overall" game.

Well, I can list a few, excluding Alien Hominid (loved that game!) since you said you had that, in order:

1) Geometry Wars

2) Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

3) Doom

Geometry Wars is without a doubt the best arcade game. Marble Blast Ultra is probably second.

1 - Castlevania:SOTN - The competition doesn't even come close. 2 - Geometry Wars - Distant second. 3 - Marble Blast Ultra - Adictive gameplay. 4 - Worms - Brings back fond memories of fighting over Scorched Earth back in the day.

Castlevania is definately the best...

Geometry wars is also sweet... But, make sure you can beat the demo, and do it well before you purchase it... Because that's the entire game... Except it's not timed... So if you can't even beat the demo, there is almost no point in buying the game unless you want like the one or two achievements you can unlock in that short period of time.

Worms is quite addicting aswell.. And I enjoy TMNT for a good CO OP game and such.

Lumines Live... the only XBLA game that's taken as much time from me as Oblivion has.

Castlevania of course rates up top, along with Doom, but some other really good games that are more "arcade-like" are:

1. Heavy Weapon.

2. Geometry Wars.

3. Jetpac Refulled.

4. Astro-Pop.

I dont find myself playing any of the 6 arcade games I own very often, but when I do it's either MK3 or Heavy Weapon.

 But I can't wait for Pinball for XBLA.

I also hope someone releases an original 2D fighter that's not just a remake of an old game. That or give us Capcom vs Marvel/SNK
