    Pooyan, time pilot and the twinbee games were ones I planned to get. Was hoping there was more :p. Maybe the gems of Game Room just stick out that much more due to what is there to compare it to. 
      
    Not sure about Shao-lin's Road or Yie Ar Kungfu... and I remember Yars' Revenge being a clusterfuck, unless I'm mistaken :P 
     
    Guess I'll have some points left over then.

    Is foodfight good? It looked good, but looks can be deceiving.

    Blades of Steel isn't as good as the NES version but it's still probably worth $2. 
     
    Oh, and Jungler.

    Oh man. It looks like I'll be needing to get a ton of the game packs.  
     
    Roughly how big are the packs? I mean, they're just roms... right?

    If you got 2400 points to burn, why not get a decent live arcade game or two, instead of a bunch of bad ports from gameroom?

    I can't think of any XBLA games I don't have that I do want... and It'd be completely unlike me to save points for when something does come up.

    The shadow broker DLC for Mass Effect 2 is pretty good, probably better value then anything on gameroom. But I'm not gonna stop you from enjoying your masochistic pleasures, have fun with Game Room. 
     
    Tempest isn't too awful if you can get past the clunky control.

    Detana Twinbee is pretty good... Well, it's got good music, anyway.
