So I have 1600 MS Points from a card I got at BB. That's enough for two arcade games I think. Right now the only arcade game I really play is Geometry Wars. I'm thinking that Worms might be a good buy, since I enjoyed the PC version.

I also tried out the trial of Prince of Persia and Marathon: Durandal. The trials were too short to give any real impression, so if you have the full version, post your thoughts on them.

Assault Heroes also seems like fun. I've heard it has issues with online coop though.

Also does anyone know which arcade games support online coop?

Any other suggestions for arcade games are welcome as well, though I'm mostly into strategy and action adventure games.

I really enjoyed Worms, as it's a faithfully recreated classic. If Assault Hereos is the one with the dune buggies, then ya, that's another favorite of mine. I can never remember if that is the dune buggy shooting game or the Super Smash Bros. knockoff, though.

Geometry Wars is my favorite definitely.

Since you already got it, get Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

If you want multiplayer get that Smash Bros knock-off, its pretty good.

My favorite right now is Bomberman Live. It's just a lot of fun :)

I also play Texas Hold 'em and Uno is always good for a game here and there.

I don't buy too many arcade games.

Castlevania SOTN and Uno are the only two I have purchased. That reminds me I need to finish Castlevania...

Hands down SOTN, especially if you've never played the PS1 version.

Settlers of Catan is a strategy game a la Risk, but less time consuming and more fun, in my opinion. It's based off a German board game that won Game of the Year in Germany (1995) and the US (1996). *I'm an admitted Settlers junky. So much fun to play the actual board game with friends.* The XBLA version is quality, but it'd be nice if they had expansions available and somehow allowed multiplayer on the same console (I know, there's no way to hide the cards in your hand from any other player in the room).

Well it's not super bad ass, but it's 2.6 million. The next person on my list has 796K. :)

Almost everytime I play I hit a barrier around 1.3 million. Problem I have with that game is if you die once you lose your momentum and lose like 2 or 3 lives in succession. The highest score on my friends list is also around 2.9 million. I wonder how long it takes to get those insane scores that the top 5 guys have like 300 million :Q

Man, I have such a hard time getting above 150k in Geometry Wars :( I always just make some dumb mistake or forget to use a bomb when I'm practically in a corner about to get raped by the heart-snake-thing. That's a very fun game though.

I like Lumines a lot, but I do miss it announcing the skins like it does in the PSP version. I also don't know how some people get the crazy lumines cleared amounts that they get in time trial. my best in 60 seconds is something like 62 (70 gets you the best achievement for 60 seconds) but some people have like 140 :Q! CRAZY!
