    Hey, I'm new to XBLA and was wondering what the essentials were to have. I don't have any XBLA games, so suggest any.

    Braid and Castle Crashers - these types of games are why XBLM exists.

    Streets of Rage 2 although its kind of a crappy port. The interface is generic and ugly and the lack of a sound test is insulting. But its still the best game ever made.

    Splosion Man
    Worms (either one, although I hear the second one has more weapons)
    Sonic the Hedgehog (pretty much anyone of them, although I recommend Sonic 3)
    Portal 
     
    Games I never bought, but seemed good from the trial versions:
    Geometry Wars
    Castle Crashers
    Shadow Complex
