I bought a bunch "in the moment" that I never really played or liked, but had moderate fun with the demo. At least 5. And now I wish I had the points for Aces of the Galaxy or Assault Heros 2 :(

I bought the Dead Rising Zombie theme, and vowed never again to pay for a theme. It was complete crap, if I use the guide button background it's harder to read.

There is far more rubbish on xbla than there is decent stuff. Most of the stuff there isn't even worth downloading the demo, but even the ones I've downloaded to try have been poor.

Screwjumper was dire, but fortunately I tried the full game for free before getting that.

A lot of the demos I tried were deleted within 10 minutes, which leaves me with a bunch of MS points on my account waiting for something good to come along. Atleast the stuff I've bought with points I've been happy with.

Can't really complain about games like Undertow or Carcassonne since they were both given away free.

Geometry Wars. Not that its a bad game, but only because the demo was perfectly enough for me to get some shape killing in. The full version had nothing more to offer but unlimited playing time. Which I never really get past the 5 minutes or whatever youre allowed in the demo anyway.

Waste of 400 points in my opinion.

I would say either worms because it is missing alot of weapons, voices and basically everything that should be in every worms game. and then to top it they add some more but you have to pay more points after you already bought worms. in my opinion arcade games shouldn't have dl content unless its really cheap or adds alot to the game.

2nd choice would have to be GRAW 2 map pack...my clan wanted me to buy it so i got the points and did....never played the maps. I think i have played 2 of them one time. wasted money.

I have bought a Family Guy episode of the 100th episode special, which is Stewie Kills Lois, but it was a seperate "special" about all the good times of Family Guy where Seth asked people if they ever heard of Family Guy and if they would let their kids watch it. It was a load of crap.:(

I purchased a track pack for Guitar Hero II just for one song that I really liked. Since then I've played that song maybe once or twice and haven't played the others at all.

Undertow. Though I didn't exactly purchase it, it was probably the worst thing I've ever downloaded.

I bought Alien Hominid thining you could do co-op online. I already beaten it on my ps2 but I played through it again and haven't really played it after.

The Resident Evil 4 theme. Even though it was like 10 points, it was just the same picture on each slide.

Small arms. Thought it would be a good deal for 400 points. I feel sorry for anyone who payed 10 dollars on it.

Everything. Truthfully, I think XBLM is garbage. I haven't found 1 game demo that completely sold me. I've only bought Sonic 1 and 2, but those aren't even original games!

You need to try more games. Yeah, there's a lot of crap on XBLA, but there HAS to be something you love.

Try Marble Blast Ultra (awesome game, and i tend to hate games like that), Assault Heros, Ikaruga (it's a port but..), Arkadian Warriors, Puzzle Quest (awesome game), etc.

I use the Halo 3 Red Charity theme or the Gears 2 "Bare Your Teeth" one... it's easier to read and chainsawy!

yeah i agree, about 90% of xbla is garbage...i wish they would just clean it up a lot, like delete 90% of the stuff haha..i have a bunch of arcade games though..
n+ it's kinda fun but more frustrating than fun
marble blast ultra - pretty fun for a while
Castlevania:SotN - best game ever, end of story, who wouldn't buy this game
Switchball- that game is fun
sonic the hedgehog 2 - bought it cuz i loved it for genesis
assault heroes- its fun for only 400 ms points
uno- its boring but fun w/ my family to play
yaris- biggest piece of **** ive ever played
boom boom rocket- it was free, its ok
luxor 2- it was free, same thing as zuma pretty much, cept easier
zuma deluxe- its sorta fun, but its too hard
bomberman live - my friend talked me into buying it...ugh its ok, i try to have fun w/ it

thats all i think, but overall thats the only games i think are any fun on xbla.
