Need more? Ok, ok - check out the downloadable "1910" expansion for Ticket to Ride. This pack will add 35 new destination tickets and the Globetrotter bonus card for creating the most routes.

Ticket to Ride - 1910 will be 400 MS Points.

Duke Nukem 3D will be out next week but so far September has been a big letdown after a great August.

The only thing stopping me from getting TTR is the lack of local multiplayer. I know the game doesn't lend itself to it, but the wife and I love playing Carcassonne together.

Same.

And $5 for the 1910 expansion is a ripoff, even though I probably paid $10+ for the physical version. 😱 Makes me wonder if the Europe map will be 800 points... which would be as much as the game itself. :Q

That may be another month or two. Last I read, it failed certification and they're trying to fix the bugs and submit it for certification again.

So take this as you will, but I have not been impressed at all with the stuff that's been released on XBLA so far. Yes there are a few good ones, but I couldn't care less for most of them. I love my 360, but I feel the other consoles' downloadable titles are a lot better. FWIW I own a 360 and a Wii.

Have you actually tried any of the older titles on XBLA? I find it hard to believe you have. How many good WiiWare games have come out? Two? Three?

And, FWIW, I own all three consoles.

Which ones do you recommend on XBLA? On Wii I like LostWinds and Dr. Mario, so I guess you are right about there only being 2 or 3.
