Splosion Man is one of the best games I've played this year 
 
also Bubble  Bobble Neo, Rocket Riot are good.

My favourite Xbox Live Arcade game is definitely Geometry Wars 2: Retro Evolved. The original Geometry Wars was awesome and the sequel was even better. I love Geometry Wars because it is essentially simplistic but manages to bring a complete sense of chaos in both its scoring and the hundreds of enemies that come at you. The visuals further help create a sense of madness and the colourful explosions and enemies contrast well against the dark spacey background.

Castle Crashers and Bionic Commando Rearmed are the only two I have.  I was thinking of picking up Shadow Complex as I hear it's quite good, but I really hate Metroid so I passed on it.

Darnit I want my Perfect Dark nostalgia fix...   
 
Banjo Kazooie and Tooie are pretty cool throwbacks and plenty of game for your buck, 
 
Shadow Complex is the no Brainer choice along with Symphony of the night.

I say this every time this thread pops up. Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie are the best games on XBLA

What he said. It's fantastic.
 
Also Shadow Complex, Mega Man 9 and Castle Crashers are also pretty fantastic. Trials HD, 1942: Joint Strike and R-Type Dimensions are fairly good as well.

Alien Hominid is fucking hard but also fucking brilliant.
Caste Crashers is a great game on your own or with friends.
BK and BT are a nostalgia trip that are still awesome.
Space Invaders Extreme is in the same league as Castle Crashers. Also has a dope arse soundtrack.
I know it is free but Hexic is awesome when you want something challenging and quiet to play. (A Great wind down after some MW2)
UNO, I basically find this as a chat room with a card game attached. Always fun.
Rez HD is...unique.
 
Special Props to YARIS. Best XBLA Game ever.
 
EDIT: This is basically everyone I've ever owned. (Exception to Yaris and REZ which I played at a friends)

Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie; spent a hell of a lot of time with those rereleases, making my way up the leaderboards only to have my times toppled a few months later. :P
Splosion Man and The Maw are good. Braid is awesome.
Bought Portal: Still Alive and got my S rank on that too, recommended if you haven't played the hell out of that game already. 
UNO is also actually pretty good.
 
Some other demos I'd like to get around to picking up the full version for include Shadow Complex and Geometry Wars 2.

Just checked your achievement list and as far as I can tell you already got all that I would buy, and a lot more of course.

Shadow Complex interests me the most.
 
I've not purchased a single XBLA game yet, SC will probably be the only one for the time being.
