Today I was browising the Xbox marketplace for the best Arcade and Community games, but the whole thing was a bit over whelming. There where so many games! Thats why I'm asking you for help on the best games of the marketplace, which ones are the best in your opinion?

Thanks.

XBLA is great. I got hooked like 2 week ago and I have become a huge fan.
Here is a list of games that I think are worth downloading:
Street of Rage 2 (If you like the old sega games you should buy the xbox 360 collection)
Outrun Online Arcade
Geometry Wars 1/2
Street Fighter 2
Wotb: commando 3
Castle Crashers
Alien Hominid hd

I also have small arms but that sucks. But you need to get Castle Crashers. It is awesome!

My favs so far:

Outrun
Peggle
Carcasconne
Age of Booty
Frogger
MAW (decent)

Castle Crashers and Age of Booty are great games.

Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix
Castle Crashers
CellFactor
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (comes out next month)
Geometry Wars 2
Banjo Kazooie
Banjo Tooie
Perfect Dark (comes out next month)

I'd recomend Castle Crashers and Geometry Wars 2.

N+
Pac-Man Championship
Contra
Weapon of Choice (Community Games)
Catan

Peggle and Alien Homind HD

And


100'th POST :D:D:D:D

Peggle is obviously the greatest

Castle Crashers, Geometry Wars 2 and Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers.

Age of Booty is a decent game :).

Peggle for sure. Can someone tell me what Age of Booty is about? It kinda sounds like a Dateline special!

XBLA: Castle Crashers
Peggle
Marble Blast ultra is really fun and so is N+
OMG Braid is awsome!!!

For good community games check out XNARoundup.com

My favorites so far:
Bionic Commando Rearmed (the sequel, however, was TERRIBLE)
Peggle
Outrun Online Arcade
Space Invaders Extreme
Space Giraffe (HEAVILY underrated)
Uno (one of the few games I play with my gf)
Lumines Live
Gunstar Heroes (Best. 16-bit. Game. EVER!)

I'm sure I'm missing a few.

Magic:the gathering!!!

Magic:the gathering!!!

Agreed.

I am having a blast with Rocket Riot. It's good fun, and gets tough near the end.

I also like the Feeding frenzy games, but I liked them from Pop cap on the PC too.

Rez is pretty sweet too.

And like others have said, Peggle and Castle Crashers are both must buys.

I didn't even think of Rez HD. Thanks.

Rez HD is amazing, no doubt. It's like an acid trip minus the actual acid.

Streets of Rage 2, which someone else mentioned. Teeming with nostalgia.

Geometry Wars 2: Retro Evolved is awesome. Crazy, crazy, crazy awesome. (E4 is supposed to be a good, too. I'm probably gonna pick it up at some point.)

Are we counting XBox originals, too? If so, Jade Empire is a must.

I would have put Streets of Rage 2 on mine but I already had it on the Wii before I sold it. Maybe when I get 400 MSP to spare I might add it to XBLA.
I just hope they never add the jumping of the shark that was Streets of Rage 3. I hated that game, especially with what they did to the soundtrack.

The only thing I like about SOR 3 was being able to play as Shiva...even if it was a cheat.

Forgot about playing as him. Still doesn't change my opinion of the game. SOR2 is definitely a classic. But which was better, that or Final Fight CD? I owned both and enjoyed them equally.

Anyone here been playing around with Kudo? I've spent a small amount of time with it, and so far it's pretty cool!

I assume you mean Kodu?

I'd have to go with SOR 2. I enjoyed the gameplay much more than any Final Fight game, and I felt that it had a certain quality and style that most side-scrolling beat 'em ups lack.

Good point. I'll have to play it again soon. Miss how good that series was (well, except for 3.)
I should also add Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram to my list because I've been playing that a lot lately. Loved it on the Dreamcast and the addition of HD makes a great game look and feel much better
