Took me long enough.......4 360's and countless 3rods later! This is a whole new world; I would appreciate any recommendations to what XBL games you guys consider essential. From what I gather, Braid is a must have. Besides that, can you guys tell me what is worth checking out? As long as the game is not rhythm based, I am game.
Thanks
New to Live, would appreciate opinions
Geometry Wars
I second Geometry Wars, Geometry Wars 2, UNO, Catan, Bomberman Live (altho does anyone really play that online anymore?), Marble Blast Ultra, Worms, and Castle Crashers.
I'd also throw onto that list Peggle, Braid, Portal: Still Alive (if you never played Portal on the Orange Box before), and Pac Man Championship Edition.
Geometry Wars 2 (absolutely addicting), Uno, Braid, Castle Crashers, and Pinball FX are a few that come to mind right now.

Exactly the games I'd recommend. I also really enjoy some of the retro games like the Banjo Kazooie series, Castlevania, and Super Street Fighter 2 HD Remix.
I recommend Switchball
if you want a really relaxing marble puzzle game.
the music is calming and the scenery is nice, yea.
Get both Penny Arcade games, absolutely amazing games.
Theres tons more but I have too many to look through right now, also, get SSFIIT HD Remix.
These would be my recomendations.
{not in any perticular order}
So just a couple of my personal favorites.
Something from most genres I think and some little known gems.
Aegis Wing is free in the USA so cant go wrong there if you can get it.
I havent played Flock or Portal on XBLA, but Portal is awesome on PC and Flock is very good on PSN
so I would expect the same on XBLA too.
Hope it helps.
edit: I did put marketplace links in all of them, but as soon as I posted it they disapeared, nevermind, cant be bothered doing it again
Aye, even though most of what i would recommend has been said already
Wait, are you just looking for Arcade games? I've never bought an Arcade game, so I couldn't give any suggestions. However, Fallout 3 is the greatest single player experience I've ever had, so I'd recommend that.
Braid
Uno
Castle Crashers
I hear Sam & Max is good
The Penny Arcade Games
Dash of Destruction is free and good for easy achievements. I thought it was kind of fun too.
