Castlevania SOTN is pretty good. There's actually a bunch. Puzzle Quest, Uno, and Poker are good casual games, and Doom is still a classic.

Uno, definitely.

Symphony of the Night is good as well, as are Ikaruga and Rez. You also can't go wrong with Prince of Persia: Classic, Catan, N+, or Alien Hominid.

Castlevania easily. Nothing comes close. Puzzle Quest is second for me but the combat is too lame.

Puzzle Quest is my favourite xbla game. Don't be put off by the high price though, as the game will easily take 20+hours to get all the way through.

Assault Heroes was also lots of fun, and now reduced to 400 points is a steal :)

Prince of Persia Classic, Worms, Bomberman and the Assault Heroes series are very solid choices.

I got Carcassonne for free, but I think that it would be a fun one even if I'd paid for it.

DO NOT get Contra or Paperboy, they aren't the versions you remember.

Obviously SOTN, but it's not really fair considering it's a full fledged game. Beyond that my favorite is GeoWars.....Very fun game to play when you have a few minutes to spend. I'll never be good enough to break 1,000,000 points for the achievement, my high score is around 320k and it's just insanity on my screen :(

Contra is the same as it was on the NES back in the day as far as I can remember.

You would contact Microsoft about that, as they are the ones in control of all the downloadable content.

Did you have to send your system in to get fixed? Did you try to redownload the game? You should try to do that.

I like N+ the most, however my hands always hurt after playing that game for too long. Pressed too hard because of the thrill.

Yeah, I know these are actual versions (NES for instance), but when I think Contra, I think Contra 3 on the SNES. Paperboy is the original arcade version, similar, but not near the quality of what most of us remember after some updates have been made.

Castlevania SOTN

Geometry Wars

Doom

I haven't played REZ before but I here good things about it. I have Ikaruga for the Gamecube and while it is a good game it is just too darn hard.

I had a lot of fun with Marble Blast Ultra. Second to that, I'd have to say Geometry Wars.
