Xbox Arcade Games?

[BlueJay PMS]

Hey guys! I recently go some points and I've decided to invest in a xbox live arcade game and I need some help choosing. I want something fun that I can enjoy playing for over 2hrs with achievements to get that aren't to hard and aren't to easy! Any thoughts?

[H2O Gilly]

Well I got gotham city imposters on sunday and thats fantastic, great fun

beyond that I dont have any arcade games on xbox, maybe worms armaggedon? cant go wrong with worms :D

[BASILisk H2O]

Doritos (it's kind of like that WipeOut game show)

[Ruby PMS]

Oh man Doritos Crash Course can BITE ME so hard. There's one course on there that just frustrates me to no end.

BlueJay, you should check out Dead Block if you like rock 'n' roll and zombies, it's a pretty hilarious tower defense/zombie basher type dealio that is fun and challenging at the same time. Harm's Way is also fun and entertaining, but probably more so if you have friends to play it with (but as it's free, getting your friends to get it is pretty easy.) My favorite arcade game is, of course, Doom (and Doom II.) Achievements are pretty easy but not a gimme, and it's (obvs) super fun to play solo, or you can co-op.

[BlueJay PMS]

I have GCI and Dorritos... T_T meh...

Hum...Ruby those games sound cool...are there demos?

I THINK there's a demo for Dead Block, but don't quote me on it. No demo for Harm's Way, because it's free. Also I don't know about either of the Dooms, but come on, do you really need demos for those? It's DOOM. It's been around for like, 20 years or so. It is a magical part of my youth and don't you dare say anything bad about it so help me. :D

D: I've never played DOOM! I am like 20 years old! Lol I think I have Harms Way...I will have to look more into DOOM

[H2O OnTuesdays]

Get Walking Dead the game! It is amazing!

[Pony PMS]

Doom II is better, IMO. Serious Sam HD is very similar to that as well. BOTH have coop now, soooo that's an idea. Also, DUNGEON DEFENDERS!!! It's the bomb :)

[Ruby PMS]

Oh my goodness, Pony, your new sig is hilariously adorable.

Shadow Complex - A lot like Super Metroid in all the right ways. Ridiculously cheesy story, but the game is so much fun!

Bastion - Just epic, tied with S.C. for my fav XBLA game

Pac Man CE DX - don't knock it until you try it. A rare update to a classic that actually makes it better in a lot of ways!

'Splosion Man - One of the best platformers, lots of fun, quirky, awesome co-op mode

Limbo - Cool platformer, creepy art style. Not terribly long, but a great experience.

Monkey Island SE - If you have never played a point and click adventure, you should give this a try. It's a little weird to get used to, but it is a hilarious game.

If you like fighting games, I have a whole separate list for them :P

[H2O Gilly]

wait whats this? I read further up that someone hasnt played DOOM :O shocking stuff lol

And dungeon defenders is pretty wicked, been a while since I played it though and i believe its had some updates so might be even better now

True, you may enjoy both of these. I could totally see you playing Limbo.

Yeah there is DLC now! I totally haven't gotten it and I'm bummed....when I do you'll have to come play with us. I'm a DD addict :p

[H2O Gilly]

Alas pony, I have it on PC, and my games laptop has been broken for some time now :(

[Jump Guy H2O]

I love Shadow Complex! I heard there is going to be a Shadow Complex 2 eventually!

[Grizz H2O]

I love Shadow Complex! I heard there is going to be a Shadow Complex 2 eventually!

That would make me so happy! I still have 2 achievements left to get on the first one. I might be due up for another playthru soon. Might go for the one to beat it getting less than 10% of the items. I think I have enough infinite stuff unlocked to do it. It is so great once you open that golden weapon room!

[Pony PMS]

Alas pony, I have it on PC, and my games laptop has been broken for some time now :(

NOOOOOO! You have to get it on Xbox! :(

[H2O Gilly]

NOOOOOO! You have to get it on Xbox! :(

Saving the ones I do have for either a name change when I get my forum rights sorted or the bf3 DLC

[BlueJay PMS]

I played Sega and stuff with my mom when I was little but I didn't really get into Video Games until the Game Cube....so I kinda skipped DOOM

[H2O Gilly]

You should definately go back to the DOOM games, absolutely amazing

I think I got all of them for £3 or so on PC, Master levels for DOOM 2 is one seriously hard game :D

[Ruby PMS]

Seconding all of this, DOOM is the ultimate shiznit. I played so much of it as a kid. And beyond.

I recently turned 3 lol. I have castle crashers that I'd like to achievement hunt in. Very few of my friends play it.

[EagleZerocool]

If your looking to get outside the box try these;

Bastion - http://supergiantgames.com/?page_id=242

Fez - http://polytroncorporation.com/61-2

Limbo - http://limbogame.org/

Braid - http://braid-game.com/

Also I just recently played the first installment of The Walking Dead game which was pretty awesome but its a point and click type (Space Quest, Kings Quest) game and not really action packed or anything. Only 400 points though so it is kind of a win lol. If your into dungeon crawler type games check these out as well;

Torchlight - http://www.torchlightgame.com/

Crimson Alliance - http://www.crimsonalliance.com/

And I strongly agree with going back and playing DOOM and the sequel, Even throw in a little Wolfenstein to make it a complete party. Classics never get old lol

[BlueJay PMS]

I love Torchlight!!

[H2O WeegieBurd]

Trials HD

This, plus the new one Trials Evolution

[H2O QuoTez]

I remember when i was a little kid i played DOOM at my friends house and got so scared that i stopped playing it..........& havent played it since O.O LOL


1. Minecraft: Xbox version will be dropping in 7 more days. Im not sure if it will have achievements or if they will be hard/easy. Im also not sure how much MSP it will cost xD but it looks like a very fun game to play with someone or by yourself.

2. World Gone Sour is a pretty fun, funny, entertaining game. I personally dont have the game but ive played the demo. This game had me laughing, and i like it :) It cost 400 MSP.

I dont buy arcade games or games in general, but these two games i will need to buy:mvreallyhappy:

I recently turned 3 lol. I have castle crashers that I'd like to achievement hunt in. Very few of my friends play it.

Any takers?

[H2O Spartan]

No, that was SR3.

[Ruby PMS]

Sorry, it's max 2. But you and I will always have SR3!

AND THE EXPANSION THAT IS COMING OUT AWW YEEAH

[BlueJay PMS]

so have you decided on your new arcade game yet?

Actually Yogurt & Dynamic convinced me I should by Old World Blues since I'm on a fallout kick

[Grizz H2O]

For sure, I've been doing work, so I think I can actually do some co-op with you and not just fall over dead after 30 seconds! You gonna be on this weekend?

I cannot argue with that decision. That was a good one.

:mvcelebration: Yay!!! I am having a blast in Fallout!

[H2O Gilly]

I still need to do lonesome road on my fallout game

OWB is fantastic though, aside from the stupid annoying robo-scorpions of annoyance

[Grizz H2O]

I still need to do lonesome road on my fallout game

LMAOOOO I hit edit on your post when I meant to hit quote. Pardon my derp moment.

What I meant to post was...



Lonesome Road was good. I HATED the first one, though. I never can remember the name, but it was the one with the Sierra Madre Casino.

[H2O Gilly]

Dead money?

I quite liked the idea of the storyline, but I didnt think it was done very well. If you went in with low skill in unarmed/melee skill (Like i did) it was just a constant struggle and those stupid collars meaning I couldnt explore like I usually do.

I got the ultimate edition with al the DLC recently cos it came down in price so i thought it was worth getting just for the DLC (since I already had the game) and the lonesome road is the only one I have yet to do

The GRA stuff is fantastic too

Yeah, I hated that they took all your weapons and stuff from you.

I still need to finish the last 2 GRA Challenge cheevos and then I'll have 100% on it. I think it was stupid they put that out last. It would have nice to be able to have worked on those challenges while I was actually playing the friggin game!!

[H2O Dynamic]

In dead money they take everything from you ?

[H2O Yogurt]

Old World Blues is my favorite DLC from New Vegas.

Other then there were a copious amount of them, they weren't that horrible to deal with. The character I was using to during my play-through was level 50 and had guns and energy weapons maxed out. They never got close to me thanks to these:

[Grizz H2O]

yeah you have to leave all your items behind, you get them back at the end.

[H2O Gilly]

All-American <3

Its more the scorpions that appear literally on top of you when you fast travel somewhere, grrr ftttt

And the AM rifle with explosive rounds is a thing of beaty, grace and pwnage I highly recommend it

The named silenced sniper rifle (the name should invoke memories to any try F:NV fan) does work if you have the right perks for a ranged character (i.e. increased critical hit chance and percentage).

[H2O Yogurt]

yeah you have to leave all your items behind, you get them back at the end.

I honestly expected nothing less from a fallout dlc, imagine home much easier the enemies would have been if you weren't stripped of all weapons. The ending though, it was glorious...
(not giving away spoilers)

[BlueJay PMS]

T-T Darn it... I want lonesome road now...


I also would like to thank yogurt for making me start over! This play thru rocks socks off of sock monkeys

One thing I recommend doing the quests that let you bring your stuff with you (Lonesome Road, Old World Blues, and Honests Hearts) is to bring the bear minimum. You usually can't travel back forth between the Mojave Wasteland and the DLC area, so don't get stuck overcumbered as you still want to caring more stuff, strong back perk is a must.

[H2O Gilly]

yeah, you'll want to bring as much back from the DLC as possible so take the least possible into it, I think with one of the DLCs theres another version of strong back which increases carry weight again and i'd also recommend taking that
