There are plenty of games on the Xbox Live Arcade, some worth the price and others not so much. So if you could pick one game to get a price drop what would it be?
I would pick Castle Crashers. I thought the trial version was pretty awsome, but I hate paying more than 800 Microsoft points for an arcade game, although I did buy Street Fighter II HD Remix.
Which XBLA game would you pick
I say try to choose between Castle Crashers and Castlevania Symphony Of The Night. I loved both of their demos.
I've had as much fun with castle crashers as I've had with numerous retail games, granite that you have a friend to play with. Worth $15.
I'm not sure if this counts as a price drop, but if they sold Lumines Live with all of the damn content for $10 I'd be all over that. As it stands though, WTF? It's like an episodic puzzle game.
Aside from that, three stand out to me:
- Braid- The game is a good value but a lot of people freak out over the 4 digit price. Lowering it might help spark interest, which would be great because.... EVERYBODY NEEDS TO PLAY BRAID.
- Penny Arcade- Overpriced. Period.
- Castle Crashers- You get what you pay for but it should definitely be $10 at the most.

Yeah I'd get Castle Crashers (and Symphony Of The Night oh and MEGA MAN 9!!) if I could. You decide what's best and Good Luck!
I did play the demo of Castle Crashers and totally failed to see what all the fuss is about. I felt that same way about Alien Hominid, actually.
Braid, however, I would definitely recommend. Especially since it's like $10 now. Right?
"Braid is totally worth the 15 bucks. I like Castle Crashers alot, but can't find anybody online to play it with."
Really?! With all the Flash fans online, you'd think you'd have no trouble finding people online.Br3adfan said:
"I totally forgot about Mega Man 9, guess that is more money I have to spend on arcade games"
Yep, there's a good amount of XBLA games. I also got to get Bionic Commando Rearmed. I LOVED the demo.
"Braid is totally worth the 15 bucks. I like Castle Crashers alot, but can't find anybody online to play it with."oh yeah, everybody should be paying 15 bucks for Braid. i personally didn't like castle crashers, but if i had to choose a game to price drop it would probably have to be the penny arcade episodes. i really want to play the first one but there is no way in hell that i am paying 20 bucks for that.
"It would be nice to see Poker Smash drop in price so it might get revitalized...It's one of the best games on XBLA!"oh yeah, poker smash is great! i played that game for hours on end when it came out.
Games I bought and loved: Braid, Geo Wars, Geo Wars 2, Castle Crashers
Games I regret buying after one month of play: Braid, Geo Wars, Geo Wars 2
Games I almost bought but am glad I didn't because SFIV is pure win: SFIIHDR
I'd go with CC on this one ;)
Braid is the definitive must have.
If the trial game for that isn't your cup of tea, then it's a toss up between Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night if you're gonna play by your lonesome or Castle Crashers if you're gonna play with friends.
How about this idea. If a game on XBLA is more than a year old, its price is cut in half. I understand that new games are priced as high as the market will bear, but games that are older should be a lot cheaper than they are. XBLA rarely has anything on sale, and when they do it's crap that is still too high priced for the content. Slash all the old stuff in half and people may take a chance on somthing they missed a while back.
