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.

Johny's Platforming Biscuit Romp, its a community game for 200MS points and its a blast, it has 55 levels of awesomeness. Try it its great fun, the demo levels are pretty easy but they start to get more challenging as you go along.

I've never heard of it, but then again I haven't really browsed the community games section at all.  I'll check it out next time I am on Live

Castlevania is one game that I did not mind spending 800 MS points on.

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.

AND I TOLD YOU!  That's okay, buy it anyway. It is worth the money.

I would say R-Type Dimensions. I want to get it but there is no way I am paying $15 for it.

Castle Crashers is awsome and I'm glad I bought it, but I'd have to say HD Remix.

Samurai Shodown II or HD Remix. I bought HD Remix anyway but it was a tough pill to swallow and really should only be 800 points.

I may have to pick it up now.  I just dropped $20 on Lost & Damned for Grand Theft Auto 4 so I think I might hold out a bit longer on spending any more virtual currency.

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?

Really?! With all the Flash fans online, you'd think you'd have no trouble finding people online.Br3adfan said:

Yep, there's a good amount of XBLA games. I also got to get Bionic Commando Rearmed. I LOVED the demo.

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.

Poker Smash seems to be one of the forgotten gems on XBLA. I don't really see people playing it anymore and I never hear anyone talking about it...

Alien Hominid is also a pretty kick ass game...I completely forgot it was on XBLA as well. I may have actually enjoyed that more than Castle Crashers.

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.

That made me giggle.
Anyways, go with Braid, you can't go wrong. Symphony of the Night is also one of my all time faves.

Castlevania Symphony of the Night is one kick ass game on XBLA.
