I was given a 4000 MS Points card recently, and I'm trying to find something good to play. I'm not going to buy any more TV shows or rent movies due to me getting tired of videos dominating my hard drive. So does anyone recommend a Live Arcade game that's worth downloading?
And to avoid anyone recommending something I already have, here's what I've got: (In no specific order)
Vandal Hearts: FoJ
Sam & Max Save the World
Joust
Missile Command
DOOM
Wolfenstein 3D
Monkey Island
'Splosion Man
Braid
SoulCalibur
MS Pacman
Portal: Still Alive
Penny Arcade Adventures (Both)
Uno
The Dishwasher
Wits & Wagers (don't ask...)
Scrabble & Yahtzee (Needed something to play with the Ex)
Sonic 2
Geometry Wars
N+
Marathon: Durandal
Castlevania SOTN (First Arcade game I bought)
DIGDUG
...I may have 1 or 2 that I forgot about. And I have the demo for Trials HD, which I'm not sure about. The demo isn't really helping me determine.
I'm going to buy Perfect Dark next month. But I need something to hold me over in the meantime.
Update: Forgot to mention that I have Shadow Complex already. Got it when it was released. Oh, and Castle Crashers.
Suggestions on XBLA games?
And remember to keep some points for Perfect Dark that will be coming out next month in March!!!
" Braid, Duke Nukem and Battlefield are all awesome.Totally. Already planned ahead for that. And I have Braid.

Splosion Man, Sonic 2 and Portal: Still Alive our my pics from your list. But if you have the Orangebox don't buy Portal its already on that.
Also Indy game called "Yet another Zombie Defense" is amazing and only $1.
And so far, I haven't seem to gathered much on responses. It's about the same for many people. Many of the games that are recommended, I've tried and didn't like (aside from Geometry Wars 2, which I've yet to try...). But was hoping for something I've overlooked that would seem awesome. But you know what would really be awesome to have on Live Arcade? The version of Gauntlet that was on N64. Can't recall the precise name, but I loved it on the N64 system and in the arcades. That would warrant a Day One purchase from me. No matter the price.
As other people have said I also would say Shadow Complex because its great. Also, you might want to consider Castle Crashers because its pretty good too.
Trigger Heart Exelica, Ikaruga, Space Invaders Extreme. These games have the highest replay value to me, I can play them over and over just trying to get a higher score.
I know you said you don't like fighting games, but I dig Garou:Mark of the Wolves a ton. Uno Rush, from what I've played is fun (plus it has 4-player same room multiplayer if your friends are over). Oh and Gunstar Heroes, yo.
Trials HD, man.
Simple to learn, super addictive...
SADISTIC difficulty in the later stages. Perfect.
Try some Indie Games - here are two primo choices for only 80 pts each:
Decimation X (this is better than Space Invaders Extreme)
Miner Dig Deep
You have 4000 pts man, so drop some love on XBLIG.
