Hey guys I've got 2,400 MS points and I don't know what to buy or what to look at. I currently have trials HD as my only XBLA game. Need something to get me away from call of duty lol.

Please feel free to post some good XBLA games. I don't have any friends that play XBLA games everyone is still stuck on call of duty.
 
I always go thru this, I will sit there and browse the library for like a hour watch all kinds of videos and not buy anything. I love trials HD, that was a very good purchase off the arcade
 
When does hydro thunder come out? The ole lady loves hydro thunder at the regal cinema. This will be the second game she will play on xbox besides uno lol
 
I'm hooked on Shadow Complex right now, but I got it when they were running the big XBLA Summer games sale a few weeks back.

There's a game that just came out that looks good - Limbo. You should see it as soon as you turn your Xbox on, in their little advertisements section.

Zombie Apocalypse is a fun time waster, but I wouldn't pay full price for it.

Hydro thunder is a guaranteed buy for me

Be weary of arcade racers making their way to XBLA, they don't always make a great transition. While I too think that HT will be great I bought Outrun when it first came out knowing it'd make the transition well...I think I've played it twice. There is nothing to do in that game.

Hopefully HT won't suffer the same fate.

My favorite XBLA games:
Shadow Complex
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Puzzle Quest/2

Braid got rave reviews, I just can't get into it nor Castle Crashers.

Yeah braid and castle crashers has no appeal to me at all. I know the ole lady will play the crap out of hydro thunder so that will be a good purchase, and if it has multiplayer that will be fantastic.

The only xbla game i bought was trials HD and that game is awesome.
 
Games I wish I hadn't bought
Pinball FX (only fun for so long with 4 boards)
Bionic Commando (got great reviews and I loved it on NES, hate it on 360)
Braid (Great idea, it's almost too simplistic for me)
Castle Crashers (4th grade humor gets old quickly)
Outrun (fun for the first 10 minutes)
Battlefield 1943 (good game, never able to find anyone online nowadays)

Games I like but never play
Worms
Defense Grid
Marvel vs. Capcom 2
 
Pinball FX has like 3 extra downloadable tables and I believe they are free. I still play MvC2, but I prefer my Dreamcast due to it being almost identical to the Arcade version and I have a really nice stick for it.
 
Hydro Thunder Hurricane is a sequel to the original, not a port. So it has that going for it. I know a couple of people that were lucky enough to get review codes and they loved it.
