    what ex-blah do you think are must haves? im looking for anything that has good replay value, nothing with too much onscreen action (geo wars and its sequel are out), and no fighting games. im think of pac-man: ce.

    edit: hmm okay i guess its kinda strict i just dont want a game that ill finish in a few hours then never play again. edited

    So you basically want nothing...and under your restrictions... I don't think Rez HD would be for you...buy Puzzle Quest!

    umm you solve puzzles and quest. Its probably a good pick if you even remotely like exploding coloured block games.

    def get Pacman CE. It's really good. One of my personal favorite is Castlevania SotN. So if you're into castlevania games, def give that a shot.

    Braid, N+, and Pacman: CE. 

    Too bad Geo Wars 1 and 2 are out. :( 
    Those are great games.

    i have downloaded and tried EVERY SINGLE xbla game. So far ive ended up with 4 games. Geo wars, geo wars 2, n+ and braid. Other games maybe worth getting are Pac Man CE, Uno and Puzzle Quest. Other than that though there is a lot of worthless stuff.

    Puzzle Quest, Aegis Wing (it's free), Braid, Uno, and many more. All of the games have trials, so there's no risk involved.

    lol. Bionic Commando: rearmed. If you don't like that, then get some DLC for a game you like.

    Thats surprisingly long for an arcade game, does it get boring at all?

    i don't see how it could take anyone a week, unless they just didn't play it very often. there's an achievement for completing a speed run in under 45 minutes, so hmmm.....

    and it doesn't get boring, just a little too frustrating every now and then.
