XBLA: What should I buy?

[DayC]

Well I have bought my first 2100 points today for

[carocat]

Hmm, it depends what you like I suppose. There are many good games coming out over the next few months, so I would definitely keep some money.

My favourite Arcade games will have to be:

Outpost Kaloki - 400 points - A cartooney strategy game and whihc you have to expand and plan several space stations, meet targets and keep people happy. Sounds really boring, but give the trial a go. Great game for little money.

Cloning Clyde - 800 points - A cartooney action game with some great one liners in there. Definitely worth a go.

Pacman - 400 points - Well, it's PACMAN, highly addictive, although slightly annoying to play with the sometimes unresponsive D-pad.


I liked Doom, but it isn't that great over Xbl. Co-Op gets laggy with more than 2 players and ranked/player matches, don't even think about it. And Lumines Live seems very expensive.

Thanks Cat will look into them when I get home :)

[Darth Gore]

right... this entire thread is a personal gripe of mine.. you always seem to be left with points over :(

M$ had a cracking idea when they came up with these cards - you spend money to get 2100 points... buy 2 decent 800 point games (leaving 500 points over) and then pick up a half decent 400 points game.... left with a cracking 100 points that you can't use for that much so they stay! After that, another game is released so you buy ANOTHER 2100 points - same problem again...

You'd need to spend 60 quid just to get rid of them all! I HATE THE POINTS... although they've brought me some decent games :) bit of a pro/con thing in my eyes, the games are good but the point of getting a load of points just shy of what you need is a bit of a git!

[Chet Webley]

oh yes, m$ worked out the quids/points ratio VERY carefully........

*******s.

[DayC]

Well the first game I have settled for is Heavy Weapon which I really like, near enough the same control system as Geometry Wars but I found this very fun, does anyone else like it?
